OW Brooks’s Club Members Dinner:
thanks to the generosity and
organisational skills of John Robins (G,
52-56) and Simon Thorn (D, 79-84; Co
Ro, 92-93; 15-), 40 members of Brooks’s
and their OW guests gathered on Monday
5th October. The Warden, Charles
Sinclair (B, 61-66), addressed the
assembled company about the state of the
School: a lively debate ensued on the pros
and cons of admitting girls!
25-45s Dinner: on Tuesday, 6th October,
a grand night was had by some 50 OWs in
the Cavalry and Guards club. A double
whammy of superb speeches from Nick
Salwey (B, 82-86; Co Ro 02-) and André
Sokol (D, 85-90) lit up the evening. The
highlight of the occasion, however, was a
lusty yet dirge-like rendition in true up-tohouse style of ‘Happy Birthday’ sung to
Nikhil Venkateswaran (I, 84-89). Let’s do
it all again next year!
Happy Birthday Nikhil !
