The Old Sandbachians’ Association is delighted to announce a new date for our much postponed London 2020 Reception.
Following on from the UK government’s recent “roadmap” announcement, we now feel confident the event can finally take place on Saturday, June 26th, 2021
Cyril Horsley was at Sandbach School from 1938. He is the oldest Sandbachian that we know. He attended St Peter’s Primary School in Elworth, where he was a friend the late Reg Dunning. He was at the school through the war years and was able to give a unique insight into life in those difficult times.
Sandbach School paid tribute to the remarkable contribution of Old Sandbachian stalwart, Reg Dunning BEM, at the annual Commemoration Day service held in the school chapel on 22nd October 2020.

The Old Sandbachians’ Association is deeply saddened to hear from Sandbach School of the passing of Geoff Pike, a much-loved teacher and friend of the school.
He taught Business and IT at the school from 1999 and more recently worked at the Lodge with students on Alternative Provision.

As we could not honour our fallen colleagues at the OSA Dinner and Chapel Service in 2020, this is our tribute.
It would be currently customary to start any email with a sentence including the words “extraordinary” and “unprecedented”. The reason is of course that very few if any of us have lived in times where such restrictions have been placed on the population.
With government restrictions still in place and travel still challenging, we have spoken to the RAF Club and have agreed to postpone this event for another 6 months.
The new date is March 13th 2021.
It is with the deepest sadness that we are letting you know of the death of Reg Dunning (BEM) earlier today.
Reg dedicated his life to Sandbach and in particular to Sandbach School. He was a founder member of the Old Sandbachians Rugby Club, now Sandbach RUFC, and served as a driving force and an officer of the Old Sandbachians for over 50 years.
