Dear Fellow Old Woodbridgian

The OW Dinner is on Saturday 24 September 2011 and the best way to make this event a success is to have as many OWs and their partners present as possible.  Please check your diary now, ring your OW friends and persuade them to come and, in addition to this, please book your tickets early.

We will make sure you are seated by year groups as far as is humanly possible and we can also take bookings for a table of 10 if you prefer to make up a party of your own.

We will also hopefully be joined by as large a contingent as possible for a Year of ’91 Reunion which is being masterminded by Rob Turner – so if this was your era then please contact Rob on robert.turner73@btinternet.com and make sure you send your cheques and booking forms to Mike Weaver clearly marked “Year of ’91 Reunion” as soon as possible.

Our arrangements for the OW Dinner this year are as follows.  First, there will be Drinks on the Chapel Lawn hopefully with a musical accompaniment.  Dinner will follow in the Tuckwell Room which will give us a capacity of 180 seats.  After Dinner and Coffee we will be able to relax and socialise in the Tuckwell Room until the early hours.

Here is an opportunity to renew those friendships from years ago and catch up with where they are and what they are doing.  The School Open Day is from 10.00am to 1.00pm on the same day so you will also have the opportunity of looking around the School grounds and buildings and see for yourself how much things have changed since you were here!! 

Full details of the Dinner on this website will be updated regularly throughout the spring and summer.  So, whenever you require the latest information, as always, logon to www.oldwoodbridgians.org.uk

Please book as early as you possibly can. Thank you and we can all look forward to a wonderful OW Dinner.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Who can attend OW events?

All OWs are welcome at any event.  You should also be aware that all OWs are automatically members of The Old Woodbridgians for life at no cost to themselves no matter when or for how long they attended School.

Dress code at social events

None of the OW events requires any sort of formal dress.  This is something that is asked about regularly.  Casual dress is fine for all events – for the Annual Dinner most people wear their normal business wear, such as suits, or smart casual.  So it’s simple, come as you are normally and enjoy yourself with friends.

Partners

Your partner is very welcome to attend any of the events listed in the OW Calendar of Events.

Dinner Bookings

It is greatly appreciated if you can book as early as possible.  This makes our planning and organising so much easier.  Cheques should be sent to Michael Weaver at Woodbridge School, Burkitt Road, Woodbridge IP12 4JH together with a completed ticket order form which you can print from the links on this page.  These details are needed for the place cards and seating plans.  He will then send you your tickets.

We very much hope to see you at the Dinner
