EVENTS

The OWWW's committee is pleased to announce that the 2018 dinner will be held on October 5th at the Leander Club in Henley-on- Thames, courtesy of David Trapnell OW. The cost will be £48 per head. An application form may be found  at the bottom of the page.

There will be a reception in the club bar at 6-30pm at which a complimentary glass of "Leander Pink" together with canapes will be served. You should order your dinner drinks  at this time at the bar and these should be paid for then. Dinner will be served at 7-30pm and will be four courses including cheese and biscuits. It will be followed by coffee and petit fours.

Bookings must be received by the Treasurer by FRIDAY 21st SEPTEMBER

Accommodation

There is a limited number of rooms at the Club at £130 per night single occupancy and £152 per night double occupancy, both prices including breakfast and VAT,  which OW's may book. To do this contact Laura Andrew at the Club on 01491 575782,  E mail <events@leander.co.uk> When booking, please tell the club that you are attending the OWWW's dinner. There is also a wide range of hotels in Henley and you can book these via the usual hotel booking sites e.g.Trip Advisor, Expedia or Hotels.com. However, you should note that Henley is often busy with various festivals, so early booking is advised.

Daytime Activities

Nigel Knowles has agreed to organise activties on Friday afternoon and the Saturday after the dinner. This includes a row on the river. He would be grateful if you would state your preference(s) from a number of interesting options using a doodle poll. The link to this is:

https://doodle.com/poll/rqp76fg9m8p88hdm

It is easy to use and Nigel has filled in his preferences to show how it works. If you have already shown your preferences on your application form-no needto worry, these wil be taken into account but it would help organising events if you could fill in the poll form

as well.

Groups of Friends

The committee is particularly interested in encouraging you to bring your OW friends to the dinner. We often get disappointed diners writing to say that they hoped to meet a long lost class mate at a dinner. We may be able to help you find a particular person if you tell us who they are, but the best way of avoiding such disappointments is to contact your network of friends from the School, get them to come along and in turn ask them to also invite people they might know of too. We have been pleased to see that this system has gradually started to work over the last few years. Let's extend it further.

Dress Code

Lounge suits for gentlemen and informal evening wear for the ladies

Finally

We are putting together the arrangements but inevitably with 6 months still to go there are still some details to be finalised and we will let you know more about what is planned as these fall into place. Please try to book as soon as you can, we had some people last year who had to be turned away because they tried to book at the last minute. Remember if you have to cancel a booking before the 15th September and notify theTreasurer, your money will be returned

The committee looks forward to seeing you on the 5th October.
