OBA Dinner 6th October

Early reports from the Annual Dinner last night indicate it was a great evening at the Theydon Bois Golf Club, with very positive comments about the excellent food. It is inevitable that numbers are on the decline. A notable absentee, almost unheard of in the history of the OBA, was our president Trevor Lebentz who was detained by a necessary hospital procedure. We are delighted to report that this went well, and we can expect Trevor to come bouncing back next year.

Another absentee was the OBA Editor. I was in an important rehearsal for a concert next week, and very sorry to have missed the Dinner. I raised a glass to you in my absence but it was Philip Glass, whose three songs for a capella choir is on our concert programme.

Crispin has kindly allowed us to share with everyone his excellent speech. You can read or download it HERE.

We don’t yet have any photos from the Dinner, but earlier in the day Crispin was playing a round of golf with Simon Allan (73) and Greg Southwell (74) who were both there in the evening.

Thanks to Chris Kay (62) for this photo of him and his mates at the Dinner….

And here is the happy group from YOS 74…..
