OBA News
Mrs S Day, OBA Administrator
Mrs Dalton was kept busy providing what seemed a never ending
supply of candy floss. And, as much as we tried, we never have
enough chocolate or teddies for the tombolas. Well done to the
Prep 2 pupils and Mrs Adams who planned, organised and ran their
own stalls, with the girls’ stall raising money for new netball kits, with
whatever raised being matched by the PA.
A big thank you to event leads Harleen, Andrew and the Christmas
Fayre committee for providing a great event and raising £2,000
towards future PA spending. Finally, the PA would like to thank Mr
Layburn, Mrs Life and the fantastic ladies in the Prep Office for the
continued support in making it the day that it was.
The Old Bancroftians’ Association continues in its aims to
maintain links between members, the School and the Bancroft’s
Foundation. Over the last few months we have run a series of
very successful events.
OBAAnnual Dinner
On 18 October 2019 the School welcomed a fantastic turnout of more than 130
Old Bancroftians to the 113th Annual Dinner held in the Dining Hall. We were
delighted to catch up with more recent leavers from 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
The President was also well supported by his year group. Pre-dinner drinks were
followed by an excellent meal provided by our super Bancroft’s catering team.
Post-dinner speeches were both entertaining and informative from the OBA
President Steve Dodd, his son OB Matt Barrett and the Head, Simon Marshall.
OB London City Drinks
An informal drinks evening for OBs took place on the 13 November at Balls Brothers,
Bury Court, London. It was a great location and venue to catch up with our OB
community, OBA Committee members and Head, Simon Marshall for drinks and a
bite to eat.
OB Golf Society
At the recent AGM at
Chigwell Golf Club, we
preceded the meeting with 18
holes of golf followed by lunch.
The winner of the event and
the Michael StewardTrophy
was Lionel Smith with an
outstanding score of 44 points.
After lunch we conducted
our AGM and elected officers for 2020. Roger Booth presented
OB Frank Davis with theWoodford Bowl for his success at the
Autumn Meeting atThorpeness.This adds to his five previous
successes in the competition in 1976, 2003, 2006, 2011 and 2012.
Looking ahead, the OBA continues its programme with the
Northern Dinner in Chester in April, the Five andTenYears
On Reunion at the School for the leavers of 2009 and 2014
in May, OBs’ Day on Sunday 28 June, and the 114th OBA
Annual Dinner in October. Please do sign up to

Saturday 30 November saw the sun shining for the Bancroft’s
Prep Christmas Fayre. Everyone, especially the children, enjoyed
themselves with the bouncy Snow Globe and Tea Cups being
very popular.
