plan to return again to the Sandringham Club for our annual gathering. After an enjoyable meal, we moved to the Billiards Room. The Club is an historical organisation with interesting ties to international and local sporting teams as well as the local community. Looking forward to a repeat of dinner next year and we hope to see the return of Geoffrey. Thanks to Nick Williams (11054) and Richard Wood (10948) for organising the event, and the Club for providing a splendid venue for an excellent evening.
The Melbourne CCOBA dinner held on Wednesday 14 November was a huge success. The Sandringham Club in Brighton proved to be ideal for an undisturbed gathering of 15 Melbourne-based Old Boys. We were grateful to have President Geoffrey Sullivan and Director of Development Ric Fletcher join us. We were updated on Association activities, and fundraising for the future development of the school, and informed of the current successes and outstanding accomplishments of the current cohort and staff. The dinner seems well placed at this time of year, and we hope numbers will increase for next year as we

On Tuesday 19 March a dinner was held in London for Old Boys living in the UK. It was held at Caravan Fitzrovia, which was founded by Kiwis, and for whom organiser Fletcher Bowley works. Everyone enjoyed a delicious three-course meal featuring a wonderful slow-roasted lamb dish and a selection of wines from around the world. Sam Harvey, General Manager of Caravan Coffee Roasters was guest speaker and talked about the importance of recognising and dealing with vulnerability in the workplace. We reflected on the tragic events that occurred in Christchurch recently and committed to making a donation to the families of the victims. A good night for UK Old Boys to all come together.
