The Old Sandbachians’ Association would like to wish a very happy and prosperous new year to all our members and everyone involved at Sandbach School.

We want to wish all our group members, former pupils, staff and their families, a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year.
The OSA is once again a growing and thriving organisation, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our members – THANK YOU!

You are most welcome to join the OSA and the school at the annual Carol Concert at St Mary’s Church on Wednesday December 18th at 6:30pm.

The service lasts about an hour, and then we usually pop over to the Old Hall for a drink afterwards.

It is said that a sign of a good time is that no one wants it to end. So the fact that there were more than half the guests still mingling when the night ended, was evidence that this was certainly the case at the Former Cadets’ Dining In Night!

Once again, OSA President Mark Bowland, and Vice President Jeff Lewis joined the annual Remembrance Sunday parade through the town, and jointly laid a wreath at the town’s War Memorial.

Once again the OSA will be joining the Sandbach Remembrance Parade this year, and new President Mark Bowland will lay a wreath on behalf of the Old Sandbachians’ Association.

Former Sandbach School headteacher, Colin Brown, last week completed a Memory Walk for the Alzheimer’s Society, in honour of his late wife, Christine, who sadly passed away in January 2022.

We are delighted to be sponsoring the match ball for Sandbach 1st XV v Winnington Park on November 20th 2024. As part of the occasion the Association will be hosting a lunch prior to the game in the club house.

Former Sandbach School Headteacher Colin Brown is taking part, in Tatton Park, in one of the Society’s fund-raising Memory Walks where there is always a large turn-out of folk undertaking the walk in memory of a deceased loved one who suffered from dementia.

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
