OS REUNIONS
ANNUAL LUNCH FOR THE CLASSES OF 1979 , 1974 AND EARLIER
On Thursday 20 June the school hosted its Annual Lunch , this year for the Classes of 1979 , 1974 and earlier ( the earliest from the 1940s ). Such is the popularity of the event it was oversubscribed . Once again , we were blessed with good weather which permitted the 120 attendees to mingle on Claridge lawn before enjoying an excellent buffet lunch in the marquee .
The Headmaster delivered a fascinating presentation on the school ’ s achievements over the last year . He went on to highlight the innovations introduced by one of his predecessors , Alan Tammadge , who was Headmaster from 1971-81 , at the time that many of the assembled company were pupils . Alan ’ s achievements included the introduction of the International Baccalaureate and opening entry to girls as well as boys .
After lunch , a tour of the school buildings was available for those who wanted to see how things have changed . In summary , it was a wonderful opportunity to catch up with school friends that you may have lost touch with , and a reminder of how fortunate we were to attend such an excellent school .
