Welcome to our Summer Newsletter, and to the start of the 125th year of the OSA! In The Sandbachian in December 1898 the editor wrote “the formation of an O.S.Club has become almost a certainty – and that in the near future! “
As I write this, it’s just over a month since our 99th annual Summer Reception. A huge amount of work went into putting this on, Jeff and I spent months planning, promoting and organising it.
On Saturday July 13th 2024, the OSA held a very successful and well attended AGM and Annual Lunch.
Our secretary, Jeff Lewis, has put together a timeline of the period leading up to the event
This year’s Annual Reception proved to be one of the most successful yet. A mixture of former and current staff joined almost 50 former and current students for a fantastic afternoon.
When the OSA was offered additional seats for the 2024 CCF Dining In Night it left us in an unenviable position. Who, of so many former cadets, do we invite? The reaction on our Social Media showed there were some disgruntled old boys!
After an extraordinary 32 years of service, Mr. Robertson has left an indelible mark on countless students and the wider school community, with his passion for teaching and dedication to sport inspiring generations of young athletes.
This year’s AGM and Annual Reception is now locked into the diary. Saturday July 13th is the date for what we know will be another fantastic event.
Members and guests of the OSA enjoyed a tasteful evening at Congleton’s Beartown Brewery on Friday, hosted by Joe Manning, the Brewery CEO.
I am delighted to be able to report on progress we have made since our last letter. Membership continues to grow, along with Facebook page members and engagement. We really hope that more of the FB members will convert to full members
