Reunions

The OSS organises a full programme of reunions It is always exciting when we catch up with you and your contemporaries from Sherborne Girls at your 5 Year Reunion and we hear of the ups (and downs) that you have experienced since leaving Sherborne. We currently take over The Black Dog in Vauxhall for the whole evening. The OSS and SOG provide the food and pay the bar bills for the first couple of hours.

There are reunions for 10 Years after leaving Sherborne (massively popular), 15 Years, 20 Years, etc. The final year group reunion is held to mark the 50th anniversary of you leaving Sherborne Thereafter you are invited to the Quinguagesimal Meetings (Q) held alternately at Sherborne and London.

A very popular event in the OS calendar is the OS City Carol Service, held at St Olave in the City.

In between these milestone reunions we hold regular pub nights in London and overseas We have held reunions in Sydney, Perth, Singapore, Malaysia, New York, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Geneva. There are particularly strong OS groups in New York, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Middle East. We are keen to promote more international events over the coming years
