Phab’s Casino Royale

On Friday 20th March, the 2015 Phab Team hosted a

black tie Casino Night. The Development and Alumni

Relations Office contacted as many OMTs as possible that

had previously taken part in Phab. They, along with current

parents, were treated to an excellent occasion. The 124

guests enjoyed music by MTS group ‘Merchants of Groove’

throughout the drinks reception in the Undercroft, before

settling in the Dining Room for the evening. The Dining

Room was transformed into a casino and, after a delicious

three course meal provided by the school’s catering team, the

guests were able to chance their luck at the blackjack, poker

and roulette tables.

The night was a huge success, raising over £5,000 for Phab

Week 2015. The 2015 Phab Team thanks everyone who has

supported not only the Casino Night, but all their fundraising

endeavours this year.

AfternoonTea at Sandy Lodge

On 20th March we held an afternoon tea in the Exam Hall

for OMTs who left the school in 1970 or earlier. Some OMTs

had not been back to the school in over forty years, so saw

some quite significant changes to the buildings and grounds.

58 guests were treated to some exceptional performances

in the afternoon. Two outstanding duologues from the recent

competition were chosen to perform along with one of our

new music scholars.

The afternoon tea itself was exceptional and the guests

paid many compliments to the school’s catering team.

While the guests ate, the Head Master spoke about how the

school is developing while staying true to the Founders’

values, and about our wish to re-engage with OMTs of all

ages through social gatherings as well as networking and

careers opportunities.

It was great to see so many OMTs back at Sandy Lodge,

and we were delighted to be asked by many that we make it

an annual event.
