Dear Past Parent
|
|
Thank you to all those past parents who came to the School's
fourth Harvest Supper for Farmers and Friends which was held in the Café
Bar on Friday 12th October. This bi-annual event is always very
relaxed and informal and gives all those in the farming and rural
community the opportunity to come together for an evening of good food
and conversation. Find out more and see photos from the
evening.
On the run up to the festive season, there
are a number of events taking place at the School which should hopefully
appeal to many of you. I would particularly like to draw your
attention to the pre-match Rugby Lunch which takes place at 12.30pm on Saturday 8th December in
the Café Bar. This will be the final Rugby Lunch of the season and
the School teams, including the 1st XV, will take on Abingdon in the
afternoon. If you are planning to support the boys and would like
to come along to the lunch, please email Bev Marshall by Monday 3rd December.
As always, there will be various musical and performing arts
events taking place both at the School and in the Quarry Theatre, details
of which can be found in the What's On Brochure. Not included in the brochure, but certainly worth
attending, will be the Eagle Choir's Christmas Concert "On
Christmas Night" which takes place at 7.30pm in the Recital Hall on Thursday 13th December.
Entry is free, wine and refreshments will be provided and a there will be
a retiring collection for charity. For further details and to find
out how you can join the choir, see their website.
I hope to see you at an event in the near future.
Kind regards
Richard
Banks
Chairman
- Past Parents Association

Harvest Supper
OBs, parents, past parents and friends came together on Friday 12th
October for the fourth bi-annual Harvest Supper. This is always a
fantastic evening which can be best described by two words: community
and friendship. Always a very informal affair, it is an opportunity for
those who work in farming or in rural communities to come together.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support this event. Read more and see photos.

Going the Extra Mile
Over four days in September, past parents Clare Hind, Juliet Johnson,
Emma Tovey and Rachel Armstrong put together a team and took part in
the Extra Mile 2018 Challenge in France. Taking place in the
Auvergne Region, the team cycled the 500 mile route, with each cyclist
covering approx 45 miles per day each. So far, they have
raised over £5,500 for two children's charities. You can find out
more about their fantastic achievement here.

Christmas Carols
What better way to get into the festive spirit than to join us at the
Upper School Christmas Carol Service in the Chapel at 6.30pm on Friday 7th December. This
is always a wonderful occasion and is a great way to kick off the
Christmas festivities. It is a non-ticketed event, so all you
need to do is turn up! We promise you will leave with a warm
glow, not just from the service, but from the mince pies at the end!
