Wessex OWs enjoyed another great gathering, this time in Somerset @HaynesMotorMuseum - an amazing discovery, with volunteers giving insights into a superb collection of cars from the dawn of motoring onwards. Modern wheels transported everyone to a great lunch @TheMontagueInn.

The 2024 OWs vs @WarwickSchool cricket match was another close encounter. In a 30 overs match OWs finished on 159 for 9. In reply, School, needing 9 off the last over, scampered the winning run off the final ball - winning by 1 wicket. A School win for the first time since 2016!

Wonderful to welcome back @WarwickSchool over 200 OWs. Leavers from 1964, 69, 74, 84, 94, 2004 and 2014 enjoyed gathering afresh with those who were a significant part of their life, in surroundings which were welcoming, much changed, but also familiar.

Looking forward to welcoming over 220 OWs back to @WarwickSchool this Saturday 8 June for our 1964, 69, 74, 84, 94, 2004 and 2014 reunions!

Lovely to see OWs @WarwickSchool's Service of Nine Lessons and Carols in St Mary's Church on Tuesday. A special thank you to Jim Button, OWA President 2023, who gave one of the readings. Hope everybody enjoyed the event - and the mince pies and mulled wine!

On His Majesty the King's 75th birthday, we send our congratulations and remember his visit to @WarwickSchool in 2014 for our 1,100th Anniversary Celebrations. The King signed the same Visitors' Book that his grandmother signed when she visited in 1958.

OW Will Callan returned to @WarwickSchool to deliver an excellent assembly to Y12. Will, in his final year at University, is an Ambassador for The OddBalls Foundation @OddBallsFDN, raising awareness of testicular cancer – one of the most common forms of cancer in men aged 15-49.
