A celebration and a wake
A unique chance to bring your family to see Stationers' Hall 2008 is, as I think I have mentioned elsewhere on this website, a year of signifigance; it is 150 years since the school was founded, and 25 years since it was closed. To celebrate (and commiserate) it has been advised by the Clerk to the Stationers' Company that Stationers' Hall will be made available to the OSA on Saturday 19th July from 11am to 3pm. All Old Stationers, together with their families, are invited to attend, entrance by ticket. A buffet lunch will be made available at no charge, but members will be invited to make a donation. Past Masters of the Stationers' Company and the Court will also be invited to attend. It is to be hoped that the day will begin with the installation of a commemorative blue plaque in Bolt Court although it should be noted that attendeance at this event will be stricly limited, due to lack of space. To book your place at the Hall for the buffet please follow this link, and print and complete the ticket application form to obtain your free tickets to what must be a totally unique occasion. Please note that this form is in Adobe Acrobat format - any person having problems downloading the form, or who does not know what Adobe Acrobat is, please email me - and for those who may wonder why I use this format, please note that it is done to ensure that all those using any computer (including Apple) will receive the form in exactly the format that it has been designed. The last I heard nearly all tickets had been sent out - if you want to attend, please reply before the end of June - though they could all have gone by then! |

News hot off the
Press!
Some time ago I asked for information concerned with the Hicklenton Cup, a silver cup that has been presented to the OSA by Sarah Scuppage, a lady who had moved into a house in Cobham and found it i the house when she moved in. It was believed to have been presented to the school by Howard George Hicklenton, and I had been trying to find out more about this. Out of the blue I have now heard from one of Howard's descendants, with further interesting details of the history of this cup. Click here for further information |

A centenarian from Hornsey High
I understand that many Old Stationers married their opposite numbers from Hornsey High - and that ex-pupils from that school also read these pages. I have heard from Ros Frost (nee Shaw) that Constance Legon, who joined their school in 1931, and was certainly there into the 1970s as teacher of maths and physics, has celebrated her 100th birthday in the weekend 23/24 February 2008. Miss Legon was instrumental in organising the Old Girls' Society. I am sure all Old Stationers would wish to join in congratulating her, and wishing her well. |

Hornsey High
The girls from Hornsey High are at it again! And before anyone asks, it's an invitation to any OS who happen to be in the area on 3rd May this year to meet with them for a drink. This popular event follows on from their school reunion at their school in Inderwick Road on that day from 12-3 (sorry - even if you put on your best dress, it is unlikely that the girls will allow you in) but afterwards they have said that they would like to meet as many who can meet with them (with wives, partners, and girlfriends too) after 3:30pm at The Queens pub in Broadway Parade. |

Apologies
I'm so sorry that things have taken me a while to update, due to the fact that I have been far from well, and have had to endure yet another visit to hospital - this time Mount Vernon. I now have inside knowledge of Barnet General, Chase Farm, Charing Cross, Mount Vernon, Potters Bar and Edgeware Hospitals - so anyone who wants more information on these before they have to visit them, let me know! More importantly are the updates to the website. My grateful thanks to my wife for transporting me to the annual Carol Concert, which, thanks to the excellent choir, was a repeat of the previous year's excellent concert. Also my very grateful thanks to Keith Mullender who kindly drove me to Stationers' Hall in December 2007 where I joined in the Christmas Luncheon - I could never have made it without his (and Dave Freear's) support. Pictures of the event are here. Further down this page, don't miss the link to Cakes & Ale - I have been lucky enough to receive a complete copy of the recording and am delighted to add it to the website. Regrettably I have been obliged to remove the video of the 2007 Annual Dinner with organ accompaniment to make room for this - but can supply a copy of this on DVD if anyone is interested - please email me! |
