On 11th March 2017 more than 111 former pupils, and teachers of Scarborough College met up for the Wilkinson Years Dinner. The event took place in the school dining room which the OSA Committee had decorated with an assortment of photographs and memorabilia from the era.
The dining room was quickly filled with the noise of people who hadn’t seen each other for a few days / weeks / months / years / decades catching up on what had been happened in the interim. In fact, there was so much catching up to be done that it was difficult for John Rowlands to get the attention of the room for the speeches made by Charles Ellison and Richard Wilkinson (current and former headmasters, respectively).
It was lovely to see so many former (and current) teachers from the College attend the dinner wanting to catch up with former students and for so many former students to enjoy catching up them.
Our thanks for a wonderful evening must go to the caterers for a lovely meal, to the six sixth formers who looked after their Alumni so well throughout the evening and to Pippa Harker, Zoe Harrison and John Rowlands for their organisation of such a great night.
Thank you to all that attended – here’s hoping that the Hempsall Years Dinner is as well attended and enjoyed in March 2018.
