On Friday 9th May 2003, 102 Old Cambrians and partners attended the Annual Dinner of the Old Cambrian Society(UK), several making the journey
over from the U.S.A. and also from Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.
Held in the splendid surroundings of the RAF Club (Piccadilly, London) the evening was 'hosted' by club member
Alan Murdoch (Rhodes, 1950). Members gathered in the Club Bar from just after 6pm, then just
after 7.30pm the dinner commenced in The Ballroom. A relaxed atmosphere prevailed, and no time
was wasted with any formal speeches. Following the meal, members wandered back down to the bar
to continue discussions with old pals and new-found friends, and before we knew it the time was
approaching midnight and it was time to leave.
Throughout the evening there was a continous slide show on a large
screen in The Ballroom, mostly consisting of photos taken from the Old Cambrian Society web site,
but also including some new photos of the School taken by the Secretary just a month before.
For many it was the first time they had attended an OCS event, and they were able to renew
friendships made 30/40/50 years ago whilst at the Prince of Wales School/Nairobi School.
As is usual at such events, many brought along Impala magazines and photos from their time at
the great old School, and the Secretary took possession of some fascinating material for use on
the web site.
The Old Cambrian Society tie was worn by a few, and it was decided that the Secretary would
embark on a project of sourcing a quality tie-maker so that a quantity could be made for sale
to Old Cambrian Society members.
Some members have expressed an interest in arranging a inter-House Golf Competition to be held the
same weekend as the annual dinner, and plans to incorporate this next year are well under way.
