Old Blundellian Day - Saturday 18th June 2022
About
The Old Blundellian Club and Committee are delighted to announce the details of OB Day Saturday 18th June. We want the occasion to be memorable, with an opportunity for celebration, getting together and reconnection after the 3-year imposed hiatus.
We are delighted that the President for the day will be Leigh Menheneott (2001-2020). Leigh arrived at Blundell’s in 2001 to join the PE Department, he was Housemaster of OH as well as coach of rugby and cricket and latterly the School Proctor. We are delighted that his wife, Ali (also former staff) will be joining him. We welcome as our Preacher The Right Revd Nick McKinnel, Bishop of Plymouth and current Governor (2013- present). John Brigden (former staff, SH Housemaster and renowned sports coach 1996-2011) will be reading the lesson in Chapel.
OB Day will follow its traditional pattern. Following the Club AGM and our traditional service, lunch will be held in Big School, preceded by a drinks reception. Places for groups at our tables of up to 10 for this excellent value reunion are now available and we are hoping to welcome a significant OH grouping, sports and PE teams and others who benefited from Leigh (and Ali’s) long career.
Tickets for the day have been frozen at 2019 prices and are priced at £25 per person if booked before the 15th May (and £30 from 16th May), with the deadline of 5th June 2022. The all-inclusive price includes pre-lunch drinks, lunch with wine and tea at the Beale Centre. We are anticipating a good response, so book early to benefit from the lower price and secure your group’s places.
