Northern Dinner
The Annual Northern Dinner 2018 was a
great success although attendance was a little
lower than hoped. Those that did make the
trip to Llyndir Hall Hotel in Rossett were not
disappointed. There was great conversation
all evening, anecdotes of memories past
and, prompted perhaps by the closeness of
Chester, a touch of Monty Python’s “what did
the Romans ever do for us?” A wonderful
conversation followed at breakfast the next
morning when Keith Perch wondered why
the doctor to whom he had spoken (Mary
Boulas’s husband) couldn’t help his knee
problem: perhaps it was because he was a
Gynaecologist! A great evening was had by all
and when asked who had been good over the
last twelve months all the former School House
boarders raised their hands – always the ones
to claim innocence. Ed Sautter (OBA President)
closed the evening with a great resume of what
the OBA and the wider Bancroft’s community
are doing and we finished by looking forward
to next year. This is great OBA event for those
based in the region and a good excuse for us
southerners to travel north.
Looking ahead, the Association continues
with its programme with the 112th OBA
Annual Dinner in October, London City Drink
in November as well and the Bancroft’s
Business Breakfast kindly hosted by
Bancroft’s Parents Amanda Thomas and
Joanna Hughes at Allen and Overy, London.
