| OF Cricketers Needed for Matches v College 3rd and 4th July |
Last Updated: Monday, June 22 2009 @ 04:56 PM BST |
 Tony Ward (R 91-96) and James Pearson (G 06-08) are organising this year's matches against the College, and are still looking for a couple of players for the 4th July (and maybe a reserve for the 3rd July). Friday's match is a 40-over game starting at 2.30pm, while the Saturday match, which starts immediately after Prize Giving (i.e. about 12.30), is a Twenty/20 game of blistering speed. Even if you don't want to play, OF spectators will be most welcome on both days, and there's bound to be a good crowd down at The Station pub after the Friday match, and possibly after the Saturday match as well.
If you're interested in playing, please send an email to cricket@oldframlinghamian.com and one or other of Tony or James will get back to you. The OF side has had a tough time of it over the last few years, but James says, "that's about to change....". read more

| Will Sayer (G92-97) completes solo Atlantic crossing in first place |
Last Updated: Wednesday, June 17 2009 @ 10:00 PM BST |
 Way back at the end of January 2009 we published a news story on Will Sayer (G92-97) and his intention to take part in the OSTAR Atlantic Race, which is the world’s oldest solo ocean race – see previous report by clicking here.
We are delighted to report, that at 1300 on 17 June 2009, Will successfully arrived in Newport, Rhode Island in America. Not only was he first in his class to finish, but he had the fastest corrected time of all competitors. Our congratulations go to Will on this wonderful achievement.

| Porter's Golfing Heroes Take a 5-2 Lead Over Old Ipswichians |
Last Updated: Tuesday, June 16 2009 @ 08:20 PM BST |
Peter Howard-Dobson (R 65-69) reports: The last time I wrote about the series of informal golf matches between teams led by Norman Porter (Hon Sec SOF) and Karl Daniels (Chairman of Governors, Ipswich School) was in June 2006 when the OF side pulled-off a stunning victory to level the new series two-all.
Since then, winning has become a bit of a habit for Porter's team - not wishing to be outshone, perhaps, by those pesky shooters! Anyway, suffice it to say that, three years on, the OFs beat the OIs 4 1/2 to 1 1/2 at Woodbridge on Monday 15th June, to take a magnificent 5-2 lead.

| Spring 2009 Overseas Bag |
Last Updated: Wednesday, June 10 2009 @ 12:30 PM BST |
 Chris Essex writes : Time has flown by this year and I’m late publishing the Spring 2009 digest of stories from OFs around the world. Once again it’s been great to keep in touch with so many of you via the wonders of e-mail. I would strongly encourage everyone to ensure that they register their e-mail address on the website, so that we can keep in touch.
My thanks as always to everyone who has contributed, especially quite a number for the first time and from additional countries. I believe this is probably the largest ever Overseas Bag, running to 28 pages covering 15 countries and 48 correspondents. I trust that my editing skills have done your messages proud.
The Spring 2009 Overseas Bag is published in the People section (click here to go to the People section or use the menu at the top of the page. You will need to be signed in to the website to access the Overseas Bag).

 Brian Rosen (S40-46) has been in touch to let us know that the BMW (Motorcycle) Club are this year having a weekend based at the College, from 28th to 31st August 2009. Although Brian has been a member of the BMW Club for over 30 years, he's not able to make this weekend, but thought other BMW owning OFs may like the opportunity to stay at the College again.

| OFGS Spring Meeting Report |
Last Updated: Friday, May 22 2009 @ 08:32 PM BST |
David Turnbull, OFGS Hon Secretary, reports:
The OFGS Spring Meeting was once again held in fine, sunny weather at The Warren Golf Club near Maldon on Tuesday, 19th May. Unfortunately, for the first time in many years, there was a disappointing turn out from players of all abilities. The sixteen who did play had a most enjoyable day.
