58 Old Birkonians attended the Headmaster’s Welcome Back Dinner in April 2013. As the photographs testify, they are still in good shape and still recognisable from their School photographs. The letters of thanks afterwards to John Clark bear witness to an excellent evening. Just a note to thank you for your hospitality at the Welcome Back Dinner yesterday evening. Like some others I spoke to, I was somewhat apprehensive before the event, particularly as I actually remembered only two of the names who left in the same year that I did. My apprehension was unfounded and the whole evening was extremely enjoyable. The physical changes since I left 58 years ago are remarkable, although much of the old skeleton remains. The classrooms below Big School hold few happy memories, but in retrospect I had a wonderful education at the School, even if I didn’t appreciate it at that time. Kevin C Taylor, CBE The tour of the School brought back memories with almost every pace. You created a relaxed atmosphere from the start and the absence of a formal seating plan made it possible to sit with one or two friends but also to strike up conversations with people one remembered as being too senior to dare to approach when at School!
