CLOSE COMMUNITY EVENTS

A Warm Welcome Warmest wishes from Cheltenham as the new academic year begins. It is a real thrill to return to Dean Close after 10 years away and to find so much that is exciting and new going on; you will see from this brochure just how vibrant and busy life is here. I look forward enormously to catching up with old friends and to meeting new ones at the various events you will find in these pages. Do come along to as much as you can, and do introduce yourself to me if we have not yet met.

There is nothing like a Carol Service for getting us all in the mood for Christmas, and the London Community Carol Service on Monday 18th December is among the events already firmly in my diary; it would be wonderful to see alumni, current pupils, families and friends of Dean Close there both for the service and for the London Social afterwards.

Emma Taylor Warden, The Dean Close Foundation
