Saturday 13 May 2023

This year is an interim one between the biennial AHOGA Reunions, and it has become traditional to hold an “Afternoon Tea”. We were delighted that this event was well attended by those of varied generations who enjoyed meeting each other, looking around the main house and seeing whether rooms have the same purposes as they knew in their time at school. For those who were boarders, everywhere looks very different!

The usual very high standard of food certainly came up to expectations, and we are grateful to the staff who provided such a lovely tea on the traditional cake stands.

After good tea and conversation, we went over to the Dickinson building for the planting of a rose tree in memory of Mrs Jill McAdam, whose recent death was such a sad shock to the whole school community. Appropriately the tree is a “Jill” rose. Many of those present had very happy memories of Jill’s dedication, and the ceremony made a fitting end to the reunion.
