Friday 5 March, 6.30 pm
Boarders' Hall, Abingdon School
On Friday 5 March around 40 OAs who left School from 1969-1972 came back to Abingdon to reconnect with old friends and former members of staff. The reunion took the form of a drinks reception and was held in Boarders' Hall, better remembered by many from their time at School as the kitchen!
Several of those present had travelled a considerable distance to take part in the reunion - several from as far afield as the South Coast or the North-East but one OAs, and his wife, had made the journey all the way from Austria! Those in attendance included:
