50 Years-on Reunion Lunch : on Saturday 24 th February 2018 , a bright but cold and frosty morning greeted 35 nearly-70 year olds when they arrived at School for a welcome cup of coffee . This was followed be a tour of Treasury ,
Rachel Wragg conducting the guests skilfully around the exhibits . Drinks and lunch followed : Fellow Stephen Cobb ( A , 75-80 ) spoke for the home team and Robert Jennings ( C , 62-67 ) replied on behalf of the guests . By this time tribal noises could be heard outside and the company decamped into Meads , bathed in glorious sunshine , to watch a game of XVs which was a closer win by OTH than many had originally predicted .
