OFA & OGA Joint Garden Party

Held at Farnham College 23 June 2012

The second joint Garden Party took place two years following the first and it was equally successful and enjoyable. The event was tinged with the  sadness that the location was changed from the home of Alison Schofield to Farnham College as a result of the sudden illness and death of Alison, President of the Old Girls’ Association. Patricia Atkinson paid tribute to Alison when welcoming the assembled group of well over 100 old boys and old girls.

Taking place within a period of near-extreme wet weather across the country, the attendees were grateful that it hardly rained at all and the marquee was fairly large. Excellent refreshments and a good supply of alcohol or non-alcohol ensured all the assembled people’s needs were satisfied. There were thanks paid to many people who had assisted in the event and in other ways during the past year and the loud buzz of chatter and conviviality confirmed the fact that everyone enjoyed a good dose of nostalgic reminiscence.
