OR Weekend and Triennial Dinner

Despite wind and blustery showers we had a marvellous turn out for OR weekend with over 260 visitors for the weekend’s events, including a fully sold-out Triennial Dinner.

It was fantastic to see friends old and new chatting in Mondos and on tours, meeting up to play RossHockey and Association Hockey and enjoying lunch together.

In the afternoon there was an Astronomy Show by Dr Nick Lister and visitors to the new Performing Arts Studio were treated to dropping in on a rehearsal of Blood Brothers.

The Headmaster hosted another of his popular question and answer sessions and the OR Club AGM was well attended.

After a short break we reconvened for the usual packed Chapel Service, Drinks in Big School accompanied by Zac Crowe (Year 12) on piano, and then made a hasty dash across the Square to avoid the rain. As always, Tim Fletcher and his team provided a sumptuous feast, Heather’s decorations transformed the tables, the Rose girls made super waitresses, the wine flowed and the bar was busy, especially Julie’s rhubarb and ginger gin cocktails. Speeches were well received and The Carmen was exceptionally loud!

Sunday morning saw a small number of classic vehicles in Chapel Car Park for the first meeting of Rossallian Car Club, after which we were grateful for hot drinks and more chat in the Dining Hall.

A fabulous weekend! See you all again soon!
