OU Events We have had the enormous pleasure of seeing a great many OUs at national and international reunions throughout this busy and memorable year. The ever popular London dinner at the Mandarin attracted a full house with extra sparkle generously provided by Nick Wall (Fgh 92) whose company Tails Cocktails provided superb pre and post dinner drinks from their exclusive cocktail range. We are delighted that Tails Cocktails will be appearing again at the 2014 London Dinner. Particular highlights amongst the many events of the past 12 months were the
London Dinner
150th anniversary celebrations of Highfield and the Uppingham Rovers, both held over Speech/Founder’s Day weekend. With a tremendous turn out of over 200 OUs these were both wonderful occasions, full of nostalgia and catching up with old friends, many of whom had not been in touch since leaving Uppingham many years ago. This year’s Norfolk Dinner, chaired by Sir Charles Dunstone (LH 78) was a fantastic evening, with an excellent turn out, which included Johnny Vaughan (LH 79) and Stephen Fry (F 70). Sir Charles and Johnny
entertained everyone with their hilarious ‘Uppingham Quiz’ in which guests had to identify such things as the “escape route” from the Waggon and Horses and “smokers’ alley”; the room was filled with laughter throughout. Our thanks to both of them for making it an unforgettable event. Pictures say a thousand words and the following pages of photos illustrate the scope and range of events that have taken place over the past 12 months… Richard Boston OU Association Secretary
