Booking for the OTA President's Dinner at Taunton School on Saturday 3rd June is now open. Guests will be joined by the Reverend Richard Coles – cleric, broadcaster, author and former member of The Communards who will speak after the dinner.

David Bridges has loyally served the Association for over 20 years and the dinner marks his retirement as OTA President at a time when he is also relinquishing his other roles within the OTA. We'd love to see as many of you at the dinner as possible, both to enjoy this special evening and to thank David in person for his years of service.

What a fantastic picture sent to us by Richard Jowett taken during his Christmas break to Australia:

Richard Jowett (Staff ‘63 - ‘05) and his wife Gill (School Hospital ‘79 - ‘07) recently met up with their son Ben (WW ‘80 - ‘91), Richard’s former Head of House, Ian Acheson (GD ‘76 - ‘87) and Jon Seward (WW ‘86 - ‘89). The reunion took place at Cremorne Point, Sydney. What better place for a picnic.

Please get in touch if you’d like to join us in Dubai on the 15th February. Thanks to Spencer Dando (1982-87, School House), the Head of OTs in the Middle East, who will be hosting this event along with Gabriella Thomas, the school’s International Marketing and Recruitment Manager.

After last year's successful Taunton School reunion in Dubai, we are delighted to invite all members of our school community to join us from 7.00pm on Wednesday 15 February at the Dubai Offshore Sailing Club.
