Dear Old Shebbearian

Re: REUNIONS IN 2008

100th Annual Reunion at the Royal Air Force Club, London, Saturday 26th January, 2008
Centenary Reunion at Shebbear College, Shebbear on Saturday 30th August, 2008

2008 is a special year for the OSA, and it has been decided to hold two Reunions to celebrate this.

The January, Saturday 26th Reunion at the Royal Air Force Club in Piccadilly, London will include, as our quests, many former Heads (or their descendents). Click for Details.
The cost of attending the London Reunion is high, particularly for younger members who also have to arrange accommodation, and the Committee has decided to subsidise this cost to encourage younger members to attend. As the enclosed (please click) 26 Jan 08 Booking Form shows, this is held at £39.

The cost for students is again subsidised at £25, but we would ask anyone claiming this substantial discount to write a few words stating where they are training, what course and what year. This information will form the basis of a feature Shebbearian article.

Knowing the costs of attending the London Reunion, particularly for those from the West Country, it has been agreed with the College that we will also hold a Reunion at the College on Saturday 30th August, 2008. This will be available for both Old Shebbearians and their partners, unlike the London Reunion, which is for Old Shebbearians only. There is some accommodation available at the college (single, double and small dormitories) and these will be available together with tea on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday morning at a low cost. There are also many local B&Bs, and we will try and supply a list of these near the time.

From our recent survey it is clear this will be a popular event. More details will be available in the Spring.

Returning to the January Reunion, in anticipation of a large turn-out and with limited capacity, tickets will be available on a ‘first come, first served basis’, with full payment accompanying the Application, payable to the OSA. The invitation will go on the OSA web-site the same day as you receive this letter and the 26 Jan 08 Booking Form.

Yours faithfully

DAVID HALEY
