Sternian Events: 2021 at a Glance

We have been delighted to be able to host a number of our events in person this year, with some long overdue celebrations, ceremonies, and gatherings! Here are just a few of our highlights…

January - May LWC Focus Talks

Due to lockdown and no face to face events we were delighted to continue with these virtual events to ensure Sternians stayed connected and of course entertained over a number of months. The talks covered a broad range of topics and were fantastic.

Friday 3rd September

2021 Leavers Drinks Reception

We welcomed our newest Sternians until the sun went down back in September, with nibbles and a few drinks, as well as a goody bag! It was lovely to be able to say goodbye to them as pupils of LWC, and hello to them on behalf of the Sternians’ Association at the same time. We very much look forward to hearing about the incredible endeavours you undertake and the achievements you will no doubt accomplish over the following years.

Sunday 12th September 2020 Leavers Hog Roast

It was time to say another official “hello” to our 2020 leavers with a delicious hog roast which filled the campus with mouth-watering aromas and, of course, a few drinks to wash it down with! What a wonderful afternoon we had reuniting with everyone who attended and hearing about the various ventures you have undertaken over the past year.

Tuesday 21st September

Golf Day

We were ecstatic to be back on the course with some of our most avid members of LWC’s Golf Society at North Hants Golf Club. Our players aced the course and enjoyed an evening meal watching the sunset at this beautiful golfing location. Congratulations again to the winner, and our very own Sternian, Chris Huffam. We look forward to seeing our members again soon, and hopefully some new ones too!

Friday 24th September

President’s Drinks

The Sternians’ Association said another hello in September, this time to the newest members of staff on the LWC team. Peter Booth was, as always, a welcoming host and gave a motivating and moving speech to introduce new starters from 2020 and 2021 to the association and wider LWC community

Friday 19th November

Over 60’s Lunch

After what seems like forever, we were so pleased to be back at the Farmers Club for the Over 60’s Lunch. What a lovely afternoon we had seeing our regular attendees – it was great to see some new faces at the event too! We enjoyed some bubbly to celebrate coming back together, then sat down for a 3-course meal, where we heard from Headmaster, Adam Williams, and Chairman, John Bacon.

Tuesday 23rd November

South-West Reunion, Exeter

A beautiful venue in an idyllic spot on the River Exe and a group of brilliant Sternians made for a special evening in Exeter. We had lots of fun getting stuck into the pizza buffet and reminiscing about LWC over a few drinks. Thank you to those of you who joined us for our debut in Exeter, and a special thanks to Ian Kerr, who made our evening mingling with the other tables as well as our Sternian one!
