Our Alumni dinner on 6 September 2013, the OSA golf day on 31 October 2013, the Saints Waterpolo Festival from 24 – 27 October 2013 and a couple of Club Draws, where I am hoping to give away the prize this year. The club draw has taken off brilliantly and I would like to thank all of you who have made the time to come through and join us and I look forward to seeing you all on 25 July 2013 for another draw. We have also had a brilliant reunion in Melbourne, Australia organised by Travis MacClachlan and another one coming up on 8 August 2013 in Sydney, organized by DJ Carrick and if you would like more information about future get togethers, please contact Susannah. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Dr Tim Nuttall, our new Rector, and his family to the College. Tim will be taking over the reigns at the beginning of August and we wish him well in driving our school to the next level. On that short note, I look forward to seeing you at some stage at the Higher Ground or at one of our events, but book now because places are running out.
