We are so grateful to everyone who
took the time to participate, and many
congratulations to

prosecco prize draw.
Our intention is to repeat the survey every
two years. In the meantime, it is not too late
to let us know your views and help to inform
our future provision. Please either visit:

Type of events that attract OSE
Many OSE pre-1965 expressed a wish to preserve traditional
events such as Special Gaudies and formal dinners, while others
challenged us to create new and more informal events around the
arts, networking, careers and pub
nights.Wehope you will all find
something to interest you on the events’ calendar on the back
cover of this issue, and keep an eye out for new events from
September 2016!

We are now on Facebook!
We have launched a Facebook page and groups for all OSE where you can find out
the latest OSE and School news, share your stories, and reconnect with friends.
Join the online community to see our photos, read short articles and profiles,
share your messages with old friends, and stay connected with new ones. We love
hearing your news and we encourage you to share your updates by posting online,

You can ‘like’ and ‘share’ the page with your Facebook friends, and we hope you
encourage OSE within your networks to like the page and join the groups available.
Even if you are not a Facebook user, you can still visit the page, and by creating a
