Oetts Boys 2011 meeting
Hi - This is simply to let you know there will be a meeting of "Oetts Boys" in mid July. “Oetts Boys” are simply an informal group of people from North House and from the 1960s who decided to meet up last year and who now wish to repeat the occasion. The venue will be the White Heart at Godstone which is just off the M25 and close to the M23. The exact date is still to be finalised but expected to be between 15th and 28th July. Please contact me at joshintheuk(at)onetel.com if you would like to know more. (change the (at) to the @ symbol)
Oetts Boys Meeting Date Confirmed
The date for Oetts Boys 2011 meeting will be Thursday 21st July - The venue is the White Hart at Godstone - time for arrival yet to be decided - early aftenoon seems popular but I will confirm very soon.
If you were in North House in the 1960s with Mr Oettinger as your housmaster then please feel free to come along.
Oett's Boys 2011
We have now agreed that the gathering will start in the mid aftenoon - Some will be arriving around 3:30pm and some a little later with others not expected until earlier in the evening..
Oett's boys
I hope to attend the White Heart gathering - family commitments permitting. Thanks to everyone for arranging this. John Chapman (Ottershaw 841, North House 1964-1970)
Oett's Boys may need to change name
We now expect that we will have a another "mansionite" at our gathering, this time a person from East house but from the same mid 1960s period. If you were mansion based in the mid 1960s and would like to attend please let me know (email above) - if enough people come we may even have to change the name of our group to "Oetts and Ugs" boys!
The 2011 event
Well, thanks to the great efforts of many 1960s old boys we had quite a gathering at Godstone on July 21st 2011. This was the second meeting of this particular group and it attracted more people than last year. We all enjoyed a great afternoon chatting and later several stayed on to enjoy a meal together before eventually departing. Already plans are afoot for the 2012 meeting where we hope even more people who were at the school in the mid 1960s will attend. The old boys who attended this time were - John Chapman, John Burrow, Roger Chesher, Roger King, Khalil Lawry, Nigel Coulson-Stevens, Nick Parsons, David Turner, Nick Roberts, David Smith and Jonathan Lovegrove. Many thanks to David's wife Elenor for taking the photo for us.
1960s boys to meet up in 2012
Oetts Boys was the informal name given to a group of old boys who met up for the first time in 2010. We are now planning our third annual event but would like to extend our welcome to all old boys who were at the school in the the 1960s. If you were at the school at that time and fancy meeting up with some old chums - please let us know. We expect to meet again sometime in July but have not decided excactly where yet. If you want to join in please contact me direct at joshintheuk(at)onetel.com (simply replace the (at) with the normal symbol).
