We have decided to organise our Annual Reunion Dinner for Saturday November 20th at The Highcliff Marriott Hotel, West Cliff, Bournemouth, starting at 7pm to be seated for 7.30pm. As always we are very pleased to extend an invitation for a Representative Member of the Old Tauntonians to join us as our guest, thus keeping the connection between the two schools alive, despite the fact that Tauntons shared our premises over 80 years ago.
The cost is £32.00 per member and £35.00 per non-member and the preferred method of payment is by bank transfer to Old Bournemouthians’ Association: Sort Code 20-11-39, Account Number 10339636. Please enter your surname followed by 21 as a reference. Tables of up to ten can be organised via the following link: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspxid=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAI4Y1kRUN0lDUzJaMDlISzJMOURNUlNVQk5TT0RCTC4u
If you are unable to access this link then please book directly with Ian Underwood, our Dinner Secretary, at underwoods4@yahoo.co.uk. Once again we have decided to open the event so that members may bring spouses/partners if they wish and we would appreciate early bookings so that we can organise seating. Dress is either black tie or lounge suits.
Our confirmed speaker this year is our former Chairman of Old Bournemouthians and former Chairman of School Governors, David Sidwick, who is now the Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner and we all look forward to hearing of his reminiscences of his time at School. We also look forward to hearing about some of the challenges his new role has brought.
I plan to attend, as it will be 20 years since my cohort left. If others from 1994-2001 plan to attend, please answer question 9 (“Is there anyone you want to sit with?”) as “Class of 2001” and then we should all end up together.
