Barbara Hamilton, after 23 years loyal service, will be retiring from Brandeston Hall at the end of this term. Barbara is one of our longest serving members of staff and her involvement with Brandeston Hall and the children has been enthusiastic and tireless, giving generously of her time and energy in so many extra-curricular activities, in addition to her very full timetable within school.
We will be organising a Farewell Gathering and Presentation for Barbara with afternoon tea and cakes in the Rowley Hall at Brandeston Hall, on Monday, 8th December at 4pm after the Inter-house Cross Country.

| Overseas Bag - Autumn 2014 |
Last Updated: Wednesday, 29 October 2014
|
Chris Essex (K69-75) writes: With the deadline for the 2014 Yearbook now passed I have published the full version of the Overseas Bags for Autumn 2014 in the People section.
As always it’s been great to get so much correspondence from OFs overseas and its only possible to include a small proportion in the Yearbook. I strongly encourage you to read it in full and hear what your fellow OFs have been up to around the world, including who 50th birthday cake this is. A small clue is he loves diamonds and ballet!
As well as hearing from my regular corresponders, I’m always particularly delighted to hear from any overseas OFs for the first time. So why not get in touch with me and tell your contemporaries what you’ve been up to. Alternatively I’d love to hear from any overseas OFs who are prepared to organise an event in their country next year to celebrate 150th anniversary of first boys going to the College. Some are already in planning with more to follow. Email Chris Essex.

| SOF Norfolk Supper - Thursday 13th November 2014 at 7pm |
Last Updated: Sunday, 12 October 2014
|
The Supper will again be at Bawburgh Golf Club, near Norwich. This is being jointly organised by Colin Wigg and Norman Porter.
Our special guests at the Supper will be Ken and Trish Mayhew. Ken, as everyone will know, is one of our most eminent Old Framlinghamians, veteran of the D Day landings, regular supporter of OF occasions, and still playing golf well into his 90s. An example to us all! Ken, typically, is insistent that this should be a low key occasion, but it is your opportunity to show your esteem and affection by supporting this special Supper. We do hope you will come and join us. If you are in touch with other local OFs, please encourage them to come too.

| OF Shooters visit Brandeston & College |
Last Updated: Thursday, 9 October 2014
|
On the 5th October Brandeston Hall’s 1st IV Shooting Team hosted their first competition against 5 distinguished OFs from the Society of Old Framlinghamian’s Rifle Club. The SOF Rifle Club turned up in blazers and it was clear from the Great Britain emblems on their blazer pockets that Brandeston’s team were in for a tough time. Both teams shot 2 cards and during the course of the morning it became clear that the margin was closer than expected. The Hall’s team were eventually lost by 309-307 leaving the SOF champions and recipients of the A.B.Clarke Shooting Cup. Brandeston pupil, Joseph Carter was ‘Top Shot’ on the day with 101/120 and Charlotte Mears won the Reserve Shoot. Both were presented with special medals by Mr Nigel Burnip (OF). In the afternoon the SOF team went to the College range to compete against the Framlingham Team who turned out the eventual winners by 39 points. The top Shoot for Framlingham and the competition was Seb Treacy with a score of 193/200.
