OC SOCiETy
Message from the President of The Cheltonian Society It has been a great pleasure to meet so many OCs at various Association and Society gatherings and events over the last twelve months and to hear their recollections of their time at College and of their abiding interest as College evolved into the 21st Century under its purposeful leadership and management. The OC Sports Clubs have been active as always and enjoyed success. The cricketers again reached the quarter finals in the Cricketer Cup to lose to the Old Cranleighans who went on to win the competition.

As postage is increasingly expensive and impractical it would be most helpful if you could let Malcolm Sloan, the OC Administrator, have your email address, if we do not have it already. Rebecca Creed and her colleagues in the Association Office and Malcolm Sloan put in a lot of hard work and I cannot thank them enough. Also, I am greatly indebted to the executive committee whose extensive range of interests and experience contributes so much. Please do not hesitate to contact either Malcolm Sloan, 01242 265664, m.sloan@cheltenhamcollege.org or myself on 01242 680219, peterbadham382@btinternet.com Peter Badham (Th, 1965)
The Cheltonian Endowment Trust The Cheltonian Endowment Trust (CET), formerly the Cheltonian Trust Endowment Fund, was formed in 1917 for the purpose of acquiring donations, subscriptions and legacies and then applying the income for the benefit of Cheltenham College. This fund was merged in 2005 with the Cheltonian Society Fund and the Sir John Dill Fund to make a larger and more effective charitable fund. The fund is an independent Trust run by a board of Old Cheltonians. The fund is professionally managed. The income is used primarily to assist families who find themselves in a situation where, without our support, they would otherwise have to withdraw their children from College. In addition, the CET funds Travel Awards for L6th pupils and also a number of prizes. Furthermore, when sufficient funds are available, the Trust provides other assistance to College. We are always looking for support, both for OCs to become trustees and for financial contributions. To find out more, please get in touch with me through Malcolm Sloan, the OC Administrator. Paul Arengo-Jones, Chairman (BH, 1962)
