After an exceptional period of almost two years of COVID restrictions and an absence of SOF events or suppers; we are delighted to invite members of the Society, together with their partners and guests back to the College to attend the SOF Suffolk Supper, to be held at Framlingham College, on Saturday 16th October 2021.
The evening will commence a little earlier than usual at 5.00pm, with the SOF Council meeting located in the Fowler Pavilion, which aims to conclude at around 6.15pm. Meanwhile, partners and guests are welcome to relax in the Paul’s Court Bar and Lounge from 5.00pm, with light refreshments available, ahead of the bar opening at 6.00pm.
The cost of the supper is £20 each for Old Framlinghamians, their partners and guests, excluding dinner drinks, payable in advance. Concessions are available to current Moreau Scholars and the first 10, under 30s to apply, who only need to pay £10 per person.

| Out of the Ashes: The OF finding a ski-holiday silver lining between Brexit and Covid |
Last Updated: Tuesday, 21 September 2021
|
|
Nikki White (V91-98) and a friend decided to change their luck. Watching as the ‘perfect storm’ of COVID-19 and Brexit ripped through their home ski resort of Tignes, they saw the ski industry they had been part of for decades come to a halt. Tour operators no longer had rights; British tourists couldn’t travel due to border restrictions; bars and restaurants in the area were forced to close; and the usual atmosphere of the winter resort was reduced to a no man’s land.

They were at Bisley at last to shoot competitively, in the annual Q-Match against four teams of Old Boys, for the first time since we thought Covid-19 was a character in Dr Who. The excitement was tangible but would the results match?

| Ken Mayhew: A Service of Thanksgiving at The College |
Last Updated: Thursday, 19 August 2021
|
|
UPDATE : Many overseas visitors, from both Holland and France were expected to attend. Ken’s family have recently been alerted to difficulties, imposed by current Dutch and British Covid regulations, which would have required many of them to quarantine both coming and going back home. With some inevitable reluctance, the family have now decided to postpone the service until 11am on Saturday, 5th March, 2022. The service will be held in the College Chapel, and refreshments will be offered after the service.
There is no immediate need to register your interest in attending this rescheduled service, but please look out for further communications nearer that day.
ORIGINAL ITEM : A great many people and organisations, in the Netherlands and the UK, have been in touch with Ken’s family, the College and the SOF, since hearing of his death and reading the obituaries published here, and then in The Times and The Daily Telegraph. It is therefore with pride and delight that we can announce that a Service of Thanksgiving for Ken’s life will be held in the Chapel at Framlingham College, at 11:00am on Saturday 16th October 2021. Old Framlinghamians will be welcome to attend, joining Ken’s family, representatives of the Embassy of the Netherlands, the Royal Military William Order, the Royal Anglian regiment and, of course, the Principal and other representatives of the College.
If you would like to attend, please would you send an email to Kate Jackson, OF Co-ordinator, so that the College team can estimate the overall total of guests to be accommodated.
Please note that the date has been chosen to coincide with The Suffolk Supper, which will be preceded by a meeting of the Society’s Council, so why not make a day and evening of it? Full details of the Supper, and making bookings for it, will be published in due course.

| Society Welcomes Its Latest Moreau Leaving Scholars |
Last Updated: Tuesday, 20 July 2021

As usual, the Scholarship Selection Panel was faced with a tough challenge in selecting just two young people from a very impressive short-list of applicants for this year’s scholarships. However, the final interviews left them in no doubt that they should select Georgie Cantrell and Oscar Endean as winners of this prestigious and important Society role.
Apart from the financial aspect of the award, Georgie and Oscar have already become members of our SOF Council and join Luke Quartermaine on the Young OFs committee. Ele Williamson (M 2013-15) and Rob Norman (S 2002-07) – both of them former Moreau Scholars – have kindly agreed to be mentors to Georgie and Oscar.
