Message from the Editor

Welcome to the second edition of r h u b a r b .

Following the long awaited publication of The Chronicle we are now back on schedule and are delighted to be able to present our OSE update. We have some interesting stories in this edition including many about young OSE. In particular there have been a number of OSE who have undertaken cycle challenges for charity. There are also reports of a number of OSE Events held recently and we hope they may inspire you to join us for

one or more events here or elsewhere in the UK (or the world!) sometime in the near future. We would like to thank those OSE Reps here and overseas for making the effort to organise events in their area. As our stories prove, they are worth the hard work. We are looking forward to 2013 when the School will be celebrating its 150th anniversary and we would dearly like to be in contact with as many OSE as possible. There will be a number of special celebrations throughout the year and hope that you may wish to join us for some of them. Please check the calendar of events on the back page and keep up to date by checking the OSE pages of the website. If you have not heard from us for some time we may not have all your details. We send the majority of event information by e-mail rather than post. Please e-mail ose@stedwards.oxon.sch.uk with your e-mail address and any other details to ensure you are kept in touch with what is happening.

collection already but we would welcome your contributions of photographs, school records and memorabilia. Please e-mail or telephone Pamela with details.

Best wishes. Pamela Keeley-Butler, Alumni Relations Officer Editor.
