The Caterham School Society
OCA ANNUAL DINNER, FRIDAY 17 MARCH 2017 Old Cats of all ages attended the OCA Annual Dinner at the RAF Club, Piccadilly, London, on Friday 17 March. Socialising together before the dinner, it was evident that, age apart, Caterham School unites us all. This unity was the theme of Rob Davey’s after-dinner speech, when he spoke for the first time since stepping down as Headmaster of the School in 2007. It was a wonderful evening, and we look forward to next year’s dinner. “The dinner was a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and teachers in a great environment. Rob Davey’s speech was fantastic and showed just how much the school has developed since the nineties”. OC Sebastian Raaff (OC 2001 – 2008) Eloise Väisänen, Alumni Officer
