e-Newsletter - 28th
August 2011
Dear Old Cambrian,
Where have the first eight months of 2011
gone?? As regular visitors to the Old
Cambrian Society web site will have noticed, I am relying far more on posting
news items and announcements on the web site rather than producing formal
newsletters. So, if you wish to keep up to date with happenings, please visit
the main page of the web site regularly.
Personally, it’s been an
exceptionally busy year for me both personally and professionally, and as a
result it sometimes takes me a while to respond to queries and post things on
the web site. I do have a big backlog, but I’m tackling it, and working
flat out this bank holiday weekend to clear some of the e-mails that have come
in recently. I think I’m a victim of the success and interest being shown
by “old boys” in the web site and their old school friends.
Anyway, enough of that. The main purpose for this short e-Newsletter is to announce a
couple of events taking place shortly in Kenya. I’m off to Kenya this
coming week for a two week holiday, so will be attending both events, and I
hope to see and catch up with many Old Cambrians whilst I’m there.
Reunion - Old
Cambrian Society (Kenya)
– Saturday 10th Sept 2011 ‘Reunion’ evening at Blanco’s Lounge & Grill, Nairobi
from 6pm.
I welcome and encourage Old Cambrians to
attend this event which is taking place at one of the most popular venues in Kenya,
Blanco’s Lounge & Grill, which is owned and run by Old Cambrian and
host for the evening, Leonard Mudachi
(Serengeti(Nicholson) 1990-3). I will be there, and I
will bring with me a range of OCS merchandise. If you plan to attend and wish
to purchase an OCS tie, Impala CD, OCS blazer badge and/or lapel badges, or an
OCS wall plaque – could you please e-mail me before Friday 2nd
Sept with your order, so that I know what stock to bring out with me.
Details of the evening can be found at - http://www.oldcambrians.com/Events-2011NairobiDinner.html
- so if you plan to attend, please book your place by e-mailing the address given
at the foot of the announcement.
Reunion - Old

Three Old Cambrians will be celebrating
their 50th anniversary climb of Mt Kilimanjaro . . . . . in the bar at the
Fairmont Norfolk Hotel from 7pm on Monday 5th Sept 2011, and welcome Old
Cambrians to join them for a drink. In addition to Martin Langley (Nicholson 1956-61) there will be John Carne (Nicholson 1957-61) who
