It was an absolute pleasure to welcome scores of OLs for annual drinks at the Turf Club and update them on the news from their much loved prep school... including all the Sets’ competitions’ results for the term so far (to much barracking).

Mr Barber told assembled guests: “We are lucky to have a massive, loyal group of old boys. Thank you for all your support over the years; the most important thing is you are here and you are proud to be an Old Ludgrovian.

He finished with a toast: “Here’s to Ludgrovians present and past… and future!” We look forward to seeing OLs back at Ludgrove in 2025.

(PS - Kitchener won the term's Sets' Race!)
