Midlands Dinner

Midlands Dinner The Midlands OSE Dinner was held at the Cherington Arms near Shipston-on-Stour on Friday 6th May 2016. A very enjoyable evening was had by all, made all the more so by the local folk group providing background music. The Branch welcomed the Warden who in his speech cleverly linked life at Teddies with Shakespeare’s plays, acknowledging the 400th anniversary of the death of the Bard, born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon not so far away. We were also delighted to see Mike Palau, our President at the dinner, together with our Hon. Sec. John Wiggins. OSE in attendance included: Chris Northcote-Green (B, 1963-1968), Chris Brierley (B, 1994-1999), Chris Turner (B, 1961-1966), William Docker-Drysdale (D, 1984-1989), Peter Meecham (E, 1952-1955), Peter Davies (E, 1960-1965), Derek Ainscow (C, 1947-1950), James Synge (B, 1964-1969), RichardWenham (D, 1959-1964), David Smart (C, 1968-1972), Brian Ireland (F, 1949-1955) and Simon Mackaness (C, 1974-1978).
