In spite of a heavy snow storm and an ageing of membership the
former pupils and staff of
It is usual to read out a list of those Old Boys who have died
during the past year and this time there were fourteen names read out, showing
that in time this organisation will come to an end. A sad thought as the school
has been part of the history of Farnham for over 400 years.
The main guests were Dr. Jason Jones, current Director of Farnham
Sixth Form College, and Mike Potter, former Chief Executive of the Guildford
College Group. The Toast to the School was given by Richard Lord and the Toast
to the Association by Barry Hall. The current President and organiser of the
event, Roger Edgell, replied to both toasts. Roger
has been the President for two years and Cyril Trust praised his dedication to
the position and asked all present to applaud Roger in appreciation.
The afternoon ended with all standing for the School Song and
the National Anthem with Ian Sargeant playing the
keyboard; the whole occasion was managed most skilfully by stand-in Toastmaster
Wally Walsh.
It is to be hoped that the event will remain for a few more
years and keep alive the memory of an excellent centre of education.
