St Edward’s Society Annual Dinner –
March 2018
The 2018 Annual Dinner saw
Theodor
Abrahamsen
(D, 1933-1939) and
Michael
Cox
(D, 1959-1964) return to School again.
Theodor spoke eloquently of his time at
Teddies and his life after School which made
the evening very special. The event drew
back a number of 2008 Leavers and also
marked the departure of Rev Charlie Kerr
(School Chaplain).

OSE met at the Cherington Arms near
Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire in 2017.
John Alexander generously donated the
wine for the dinner in memory of his
brother, Bill, William Alexander (B, 1964-
1968), who sadly passed away earlier
in the year and frequently attended the
Midlands event. Charles Cooper (G,
1961-1966), then Vice-President now
President, was at the dinner, together
with our Hon Sec John Wiggins who
handled a Q & A session with aplomb,
only showing a bit of hesitancy when
answering the last question “and what
is going to happen to the Piggeries?”!
The 2018 dinner was again held at the
Cherington Arms. Chris Northcote-
Green (B, 1963-1968) was unfortunately
ill on the night but James Synge deputised
ably assisted by David Smart.
