Afternoon Tea
On 20th March 2015 the Development and Alumni Relations Office was delighted to be able to welcome some of those OMTs who left the School before 1970 and their guests to Afternoon Tea in the Exam Hall. Prior to tea, tours of the School were given by current members of the Lower Sixth Form. These proved to be extremely popular as many had not been back to the School in over thirty years. Guests were able to see the changes to the School, as well as reminiscing about their time here visiting old classrooms and haunts.
Our 58 guests were treated to some exceptional performances in the afternoon. Two outstanding duologues from the recent competition were chosen to perform – Finn McKenzie and Charlie Woolley’s rendition of Dissecting the Chicken Joke and Jonah Surkes and Dan Allum-Gruselle’s Mastermind sketch by the Two Ronnies were met with enough laughter to fill the surrounding classrooms! Music Scholar, George Wright’s performance of the Acrobat was superb.
The Afternoon Tea itself, was exceptional, with many compliments paid to the School’s catering team. Whilst the guests feasted on the delights in front of them, the Head Master spoke about the School’s wish to re-engage with all of its alumni, through social gatherings such as the Afternoon Tea, as well as Business Affinity events.
It was great to see so many Old Boys back at School, and we hope that the event will be as successful in the future.
