10 The 1563 Society The 1563 Society is one important way in which Abingdon shows gratitude to those who have pledged a legacy. We hold an annual 1563 Society event at Abingdon for members and their guests. We also invite society members to other school events over the year, and keep them informed of strategic developments at Abingdon. In short, the 1563 Society is an important community of supporters and provides the opportunity for members to develop a close relationship with the Abingdon of today. In recognition of membership of the 1563 Society, we give members a set of bespoke cufflinks or, if preferred, a pendant of the same design. We are proud of the close ties we have with those who support us and we actively encourage 1563 Society members to visit us at Abingdon. The Society is keen to welcome new members. • Make a significant and lasting impact on the lives of future Abingdonians without impacting on your current financial capacity. • Be welcomed into a proactive community of OAs and friends who are deeply invested in the long-term future and historic legacy of the Abingdon Foundation. • Your legacy is acknowledged and celebrated in your lifetime. John Roysse,1500 -1571, a benefactor at a key moment in the school’s history.
