Put the date in your diaries, for what will hopefully be another excellent day!

Absolutely... one of the things about OB's day is that there has been a thought by many uni students that the dates were often put on days to prevent them from coming along - I think this year's one is late enough (it was fine for most last year too)
No chance of that sort of thing - it's just too difficult to get a day which fits in to the school's already hugely busy schedule, with all the leave weekends, half-terms, parents days, etc. etc. and to also try to make sure it's in the summer.
Really pleased we've managed to fit it in again this year and ensure it happens - should be another fun day.

We got our tickets today - tea for all and clay pidgeon shooting for oldest boy. Both boys are curious to see a real live boarding school (our trip to Hertford in April didn't really count).
The last time I went to Horsham was in the 6th form for ?Founders Day? - we had wine to drink at lunch, which was in itself so exciting that I've totally forgotten the rest of it.
Other half went to sSeaford College (fairly nearby?) and remembers being quite uncomplimentary about the boys from CH. I just hope he doesn't start reminiscing on the day ....
