COBA Luncheon 10th April 2024

After all the torrential rain for the last few days we were able to hold an informal lunch this afternoon when 20 old boys and some wives enjoyed the hospitality of Lee Park Golf Club. The sumptuous meal was prepared by the proud and excellent  Stabler Caterers and enjoyed by all present. We were pleased to welcome some Old Boys who were with us for the first time. One making his debut was David Jones who has kindly agreed to be the guest speaker on 25th October 2024 when we shall be holding our AGM and Annual Dinner. Sadly we are unable to return to our normal venue at the Athenaeum who have hosted this event for the last 30 plus years. Due to late night travel difficulties our Council have agreed to meet at lunchtime following suggestions made by a number of members. Lee Park has therefore been chosen and they are delighted to host us. The cost is likely to be £33 for a three course roast dinner plus tea/coffee and gratuities. The Club will allow us privacy and offers free car parking. A licensed bar is available.
Today’s event presented a great opportunity to exchange our experiences at School and meet fellow former pupils in a pleasant and friendly environment. I am sure that they all enjoyed themselves. I expect to arrange another lunch meeting at the Artists Club before summer and will issue invitations and full details in due course. All old boys are welcome to attend and if you wish to be added to my list please confirm your email by sending a message to p: 07960950092.
Nearly 40 years since School closed and I find it astonishing that we still have a viable number who are able to support our meetings. Our Council really do welcome and appreciate your continuing support. Please do your very best to cotntinue
