I was enormously honoured to be installed as OTA President, feeling very T privileged, but very humble, to follow in the footsteps of so many highly distinguished OTs. However, it was meeting so many former WELCOME TO THE pupils, particularly from the 80s, that made it such a memorable weekend. I am just an ‘Honorary’ Old Tauntonian, but 34 years teaching at TJS and TS gives me some insight, I would hope, into the Association. CLASS OF 2013 Additionally, my wife, Selma, is an OT – Weirfield and TS – and our two Tamilore Adedoyin-Dada, Mosope Afolabi, Ahmed Al-Hameli, Gan Angkananukroh, Will Baldwin, children, Jonathan and Chloe, were both educated at the School, so in many ways Taunton School has been my life for a good while now.
