Dear OC It is hard to believe that it was 25 years ago that we left school and headed off into the big bad world. Whether this makes you feel old or not, each year the OC Society organises a 25th Reunion for those reaching this milestone. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that you are cordially invited to attend our 25th Anniversary Reunion Dinner for the leavers of 1993. The Dinner will be held at the College on Friday 24th August 2018 at 7.15pm for 7.45pm. We have had high levels of interest from across the year group and have tracked down current contact details, including many from overseas. A number of guests including the current Headmaster, Robert Robinson and the OC Society President, Robert Bell, together with several of our former teachers will be joining us for the evening. A complimentary drink will be served on arrival in the Entrance Hall and there will be a cash bar available all evening located in the Dining Hall. To confirm your attendance at the Dinner, please complete the form on the website (waiting for confirmation & not yet available) and post it together with a cheque for £50 to the Old Campbellian Society. Please return your form as soon as possible and by no later than 30th June 2018. Alternatively you can purchase your place online now. “Tickets” are not required for the Dinner, however, you will receive acknowledgement of your purchase. The Dinner is for all Class of 1993 old boys, including all of our peers from that year group, no matter when they departed the school/Cabin Hill. The invitation does not include partners. Sadly, there are a number members of the year with whom we have lost touch. If you know of the contact details of anyone in our year then please forward their details by email or by post to the OC Society Office. To assist in the organization; Aleric Turtle, Gavin Fisher & James Pollen have agreed to act as Conveners for the Reunion. Our contact details are overleaf, please give them, or the OC Office (02890 763 613), a call or email if you have any questions about the event. These will be on display on the night. Please visit the Facebook page “Campbell Reunion” for further details. We look forward to seeing you in August and picking up where we left off in the Summer of 1993 and before! And please spread the date. Yours sincerely, Aleric, Gavin & James If, as a 1993 Leaver, you are interested in volunteering to help with this event, please let Walter Murphy waltermurphy@oldcampbellians.co.uk know at your earliest convenience (028 90 763 613).
