OC DAY: “ALL THE SIXES” REUNION Sunday June 26 2016 Leavers from 1956, 1966, 1976 1986, 1996 and 2006, some accompanied by their partners and families, joined former members of Caterham School staff for a reunion at the School. After a drinks reception guests made their way in to the School Refectory for lunch, before which the Headmaster, Ceri Jones, welcomed everyone to the School and outlined his vision for the School’s future. After, the School Grace was said in Latin by David Charlesworth (OC 1959 – 1966), everyone sat down to a most enjoyable buffet lunch that was prepared, and served, by the staff of the catering department. It was a very special occasion for the 1966 leavers as it was their fiftieth anniversary. Special thanks must go to David Boardman (OC 1959 – 1966) and David Charlesworth for all the effort they put into getting their year group
together, including organising a lunch at The Harrow on the previous day. Old Caterhamians came from near and far, some from as far as Australia and New Zealand! Those present enjoyed reminiscing about their time at the School and looking at the various photographs that were on display. For many the highlight of the day was the tours of both the Preparatory and Main Schools, and a special thanks must go to Howard Tuckett (Head of the Preparatory School), Catherine Drummond (Head of Boarding), and all the pupils who helped to show Old Caterhamians how the School has progressed. A very enjoyable day was concluded with tea in the Leathem Room which was much appreciated by those present. David Rogers, Caterham School Teacher of Mathematics (1969 – 2006)
