You, partners and friends are cordially invited to this year’s reunion dinner at The Crypt School on Saturday March 21st. It’ll be held in the crush hall which is a wonderful and intimate setting. Not only do we have a great guest speaker but we’ll also finally be announcing our proposals for the future of the club. The price will be £35 for members and £38 for non-members. However for members who book before February 16th we’re offering an early-bird price of £32.50!
The menu is:
Starter: Slow Braised Ham Hock Terrine served with Sourdough Bread and Piccalilli
Mains: Steak and Ale Shortcrust Pie served with Buttery Mashed Potato and Rich Gravy
Dessert: Chocolate and Black Cherry Roulade served with Pouring Cream
Vegetarian option available on request
Our guest speaker this year will be Crypt alumnus, my former colleague and predecessor in the BBC, Graham Gardner. Graham has had a distinguished career in journalism from local newspapers to Severn Sound, BBC Radio Gloucestershire and then BBC Points West as the Gloucestershire reporter. He was high profile in the BBC’s coverage of the Cromwell Street murders after which he also authored a book with the senior investigating officer. Graham has never spoken publicly about his career before and I’m proud that he’s chosen his former school and my year as OCC President to do it.
As also mentioned above I’m also very excited that we’ll be announcing the committee’s proposals about the future of the club at the AGM on the 21st. In reality its taken us over three years to get to this point but we’re now in a position where we have a firm plan to reinvigorate the club and look to the future with some positivity. We won’t be announcing this generally to all members until the end of March so if you want to hear it first from me and the committee then the AGM and dinner is the place to be. I’m sure it will prompt some good discussions over dinner.
Please do book your tickets as soon as possible, take advantage of the early-bird offer, and encourage your peers and school mates to join us. As we embark on a new era of the club it would be wonderful to see as many people there as possible. We’ll be starting things a little earlier than usual with the AGM at 5.15pm, drinks at 6 and dinner at 6.30pm.
