Last Updated: Sunday, 31 May 2009 |
 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.

| Grafton Morrish Tournament |
Last Updated: Thursday, 14 May 2009 |

David Turnbull reports that the OF team were knocked-out in the first round of the Halford Hewitt competition (see Read More for Gavin Cowell's full report). However, their dander was up for the Plate Competition, and they overcame some serious opposition to get as far as the Quarter Finals.
