Chris Essex (K69-75) writes: The 2018 Framlinghamian will be out in a few weeks and will contain a heavily edited version of all the news and photos I have received over the last year from OFs around the world. For your Christmas reading I have published the full version of the Overseas Bag for 2018 in the People section of the website. This full edition runs to a bumper 38 pages distilled from over 300 emails received/sent over the last year. It will be emailed to all overseas OFs in the next few days.
The photo featured in this news article shows Berenice Wiedemann (P15-17) who on visiting Hong Kong wanted to met up with some OFs and Adrian Woo (G05-09) and Ian Tsang (K02-09) were willing and able.
I hope we will see an increased number of reunions being organised around the world in 2019. As always I will help with mailing lists and publicity but can’t promise to be able to attend them all! If you are interested in helping/attending then please get in touch with me via email
