DVPs Turn 100 Today!
Today marks a very special milestone for the Old Bedfordian Club. Exactly 100 years ago, on this day, the creation of District Vice Presidents was formally approved.
While browsing the original handwritten volume of The Minutes of Meetings of the Old Bedfordian Club Committee, it was wonderful to uncover this historic moment -later announced in The Ousel in May 1926.
A century on, District Vice Presidents remain a vital part of our community, supporting Old Bedfordians both in the UK and across the world. To all of our DVPs, past and present, thank you for your continued commitment and support.

✨ Throwback Thursday! ✨
Today we’re looking back 100 years to 1926, when the Memorial Hall, erected by the Old Bedfordians’ Club in honour of the Old Bedfordians who fell in the Great War, was officially opened on Monday, 26 July by His Royal Highness Prince Henry.
It was an impressive and deeply memorable occasion for the School community.
Yesterday, the Hall was graced by another royal visitor, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, who kindly unveiled a new commemorative plaque - a touching moment of continuity and remembrance in this historic space.
More on this story very soon!
