Quinquagesimal (Founded 1995) 16th Quinquagesimal Sherborne Reunion Thursday 24 September 2026 The Q Committee is delighted to invite all Old Shirburnians who left Sherborne in 1975 or earlier to the 16th Quinquagesimal Reunion at Sherborne. Q is the section of the OSS for those who left the School more than 50 years ago. It remains a vibrant and thriving group, and our reunions provide a wonderful opportunity to revisit familiar surroundings, renew old friendships, share memories and enjoy the company of fellow OS. Many members attend on their own and newcomers are assured of a particularly warm welcome. As with previous reunions at Sherborne, wives and partners are most welcome. We have planned what we hope will be an enjoyable and stimulating day. Registration and coffee will be available in the BSR from 10.15am, followed by our traditional Chapel Service at 11.00am. Before lunch, OS President Richard Madley (a 75), known to many as the auction expert on the BBC television programme Bargain Hunt, will entertain us with stories from his remarkable experience as auctioneer for the Indian Premier League between 2008 and 2018. Auctioning Impressionist paintings and Chinese works of art worth millions of dollars is one thing—but how do you put a price on Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Chris Gayle and Mahendra Singh Dhoni? After lunch, our own Mastermind finalist, OSS Secretary, John Harden (g 70), will give his account of the 1953 ascent of Everest. Afternoon tea will be served in good time for those wishing to make an early start on their journey home. The cost of the day, including morning coffee, pre-lunch drinks, lunch with wine and afternoon tea, is £40 per person.

The 10 Year Reunion That Keeps on Giving! This really is the reunion that refuses to end… Some of you enjoyed a mini reunion at OS Day in May, others caught up at the Wallace House Celebration in June, and many of you joined us for the "official" 10 Year Reunion at The Clarence. Now there's one more opportunity! Sherborne Old Girls, who postponed their own 10 Year Reunion until the autumn, would be delighted if you would join them for an informal evening of drinks and catching up. Friday 2 October From 6.30pm The Clarence 4 Dover Street, London W1S 4LB There will be a cash bar, with light nibbles provided, and the evening is designed to suit everyone—whether you'd like to pop in for a quick drink and say hello, or stay on and make a night of it. It promises to be another great opportunity to renew old friendships, meet up with familiar faces and, perhaps, finally remember that story from ten years ago! Please book your place here: We hope to see you there.

In 1976 we were enjoying the hottest summer on record……… We had a dithering Labour Prime Minister (Jim Callaghan) and were about to go cap in hand to the IMF….. The cod wars were raging with the French….. The Duffers and the Green Ribbon societies were in full swing MJT was in concert And Carmina Burana was competing with 12th Night for the Commem top attraction. There had never been so many Prefects……….. And the 1st XV was unbeaten…………. So come and join your 1976 classmates and surprise guests for a wonderful catch-up lunch, with quiz and prizes, as well as the now famous lecture by Love (a76), “How we changed Sherborne time in 1976”. This should be a wonderful occasion to reminisce and catch up on the last half century.
