Don’t forget that even if you’re not paying for your lunch or any of the activities such as clay pigeon shooting, you still need to fill in your form and let us know you’re coming so we know how many people to expect and make sure we’re on hand to give you a warm welcome. Remember also that places for certain activities are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, so make sure you get your form in today! You should have received a copy in the latest issue of Housey, or alternatively you can download the order form at:

Autumn Events from the CHA
Spring has definitely sprung and as we move into summer, plans are already underway for two major CHA events taking place at the school in the autumn.
On 15th September, we will be holding a reunion for Coleridge A and B together, and on 4th October, we are inviting serving members of the military to take part in the school CCF inspection and speak to the pupils about a career in the military as part of a day of events and a lunch to gather Old Blues of similar interests together. Further details of these events will appear in due course, so keep checking the website for more news and we’ll be in touch soon.

Warmest regards,

Zoë
