FROM MILITARY SERVICEMEN TO MODERN DAY INFLUENCER REBECCA WATSON
TONBRIDGE SPOTLIGHTS ON PASSIONATE AND INSPIRING OLD TONBRIDGIANS
T
his year has been one of challenges and change for many of us. With the drought of real events and reunions and with most of our community stuck indoors, the Tonbridge Society embarked on a new venture to help keep you connected to the school and to other Old Tonbridgians. We created a speaker series to ‘spotlight’ as many different careers and members of the Old Tonbridgian Society, to provide our community with insightful and fascinating speakers from around the globe. We have heard Craig Frederick (PS 72-77) talk about horrors in the depths of the ocean, and Neil Lawson (PH 80-85) on redesigning the way mass-produced vegetables are grown here in the UK. Hamish de Bretton Gordon (MH 77-82) gave riveting accounts of his expertise in locating and preventing Chemical Warfare. New OTs have offered their advice and recent experiences from a variety of industries to help current pupils with their own career decisions. Two of our Spotlights speaker sessions are highlighted here, and we hope this encourages you to tune into our series of online talks from Tonbridge. Please contact us if you have experience that you would like to share with the Tonbridge community. OT Relations Manager, Rebecca Watson
