Abingdon News No. 72

Hong Kong meet ups 23 abingdon.org.uk Sports poll Our recent sports poll sparked a fantastic wave of nostalgia and engagement from the OA community, providing invaluable insights for the long-term vision of sport at Abingdon. We are still eager to hear from as many OAs as possible, regardless of their current fitness routine. OA Club Abingdon On a recent visit to Hong Kong to see their son Hector (OA 2015), former Director of Music and Hon OA Michael Stinton, and his wife Clova, caught up with musical OAs from across his 36-year tenure at Abingdon. An informal gathering in Cambridge on Friday 13 March was enjoyed by leavers from 2025-2001 representing both study at Cambridge and the various professions. Joined by Chris Burnand (Teacher in charge of Scholars), Ian Middleton (Teacher of Chemistry), Mike Litchfield (Head of School House and Teacher of Chemistry), and James Ambrose (Teacher of Languages), OAs shared stories on life beyond Abingdon over drinks and food. Earlier in the month, OAs also gathered in Bristol joined by Adam Jenkins (OA 1993 and Head of Lower School), and Hon OA Ian Fishpool, former Head of Geography. Over 100 Abingdonians gathered at the RAF Club in February to celebrate our growing Defence and Security community, generously hosted by Tony Edwards (OA 1962). With talks from Alistair Halliday (OA 1977, Chief Executive of the Forces Employment Charity) and Henry Nunney (OA 2015, British Army Officer), the evening fostered professional networking and offered senior CCF cadets unique access to those working across military and associated fields.
