Cambridge Happy Hour
As the omicron variant reared its head early in the Spring it was agreed that it would be wise not to hold this year’s Alumni Cambridge Dinner. A catch up via Zoom wasn’t quite the same as sitting down to eat together, but the chatting and reminiscing about Bolton School was as lively as ever!
OBAFC Centenary Dinner
After a two-year hiatus the Old Boltonians’ AFC End-ofSeason Dinner returns to the Arts Centre.
As part of the delayed celebration for our Centenary Year, the event will be held on Friday 6th May with everyone’s favourite MC, Chris Taylor, and guest comedian Dr Kevin Jones. With the club now boasting three open-age male teams, an over-35s Vets side, an open-age ladies’ side and now a youth team, the event is open to all friends of the club. The dress code is black tie/lounge suit/smart. Tickets are built into the players’ memberships and are priced at just £35 for guests.

Alumni of the Year Awards
In 2022, Bolton School will celebrate the myriad contributions of its Old Boys and Old Girls to society, and inspire the next generation of boys and girls currently studying at the School, by launching its inaugural Alumni of the Year Awards.
The Awards will recognise Alumni who have delivered upon the famous exhortation of the Girls’ Division prayer, that “much will be expected of those to whom much is given”. The Awards seek to recognise Alumni who have made an outstanding contribution to society through their voluntary service, academic achievements or professional success, or whose behaviour and values inspire others – in short, Alumni who embody the School’s ethos of producing people who go out into the world and make a difference for good. Members of the School community are invited to nominate Alumni whom they feel are deserving of the 2022 Old Boy of the Year and Old Girl of the Year Awards by 12pm on Friday 27th May. After that deadline, a shortlist of candidates for the two awards will be decided by a group comprising the Boys’ Division Captain and Girls’ Division Head Girl, and the Heads of Foundation, Girls’ Division, Boys’ Division and Primary Division, before pupils from across the Foundation are invited to vote for their favoured candidate at the end of the Summer Term. The winners of the two awards will be announced publicly in September 2022, at the start of the new academic year. For further details, including the Awards’ rules, and to make your nomination, please visit the ‘Former Pupils’ section of the School website.
