YOMs Xmas Drinks

Xmas Drinks

“Quick, snatch that table!” Laura exclaims, I cast my coat in an attempt to secure another spot in preparation for the onslaught that was to come.

Only a stone’s throw away from the mysterious HQ of the Jehovah’s Witnesses lies the quiet country pub, which was soon to be, yet again, victim to its annual invasion of thirsty Old Millhillians. It is of course that great lesser known House of Mill Hill School, The Adam & Eve Pub. And, my gosh, did they get good business from us that night.

The YOMs Christmas Party always attracts a healthy crowd of old pupils, but this year, it was totally rammed. YOMS from all years were there: from 2019 leavers all the way back to leavers from the noughties (so probably not so YOM anymore – but who really cares after a few pints?).

People mixing from all corners of school life. The atmosphere was buzzing with laughter and excitement. We were even lucky to persuade a few legendary teachers to join the drinking. It was a truly fantastic night. I’m sure there’ll be many more great times to come. Ted Macdonald (Priestley 11-16)
