A small but convivial group of a dozen Old Tonbridgians gathered on Tuesday 3 March 2026 at The Manor House Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh for an informal OT reunion lunch in the Cotswolds organised by the Tonbridge Society.

The gathering offered OTs living in the Cotswolds and surrounding areas a relaxed opportunity to reconnect, share memories and enjoy good company in a warm and welcoming setting while hearing about the School today from Adrian Ballard, Director of the Tonbridge Society. 

What made the occasion particularly special was the remarkable span of generations represented. Those present collectively covered 64 years of Tonbridge School history, from the youngest attendee, Fergus Butler-Gallie (PS 05–10), to Harold Porter (PS 46–49). The lunch was a wonderful reminder of the enduring bonds that connect OTs across the decades.

Attendees were (from left to right in photo): Ian Alexander (MH 54-59), Paul Thompson (WH 55-59), Andrew Bax (Sc 57-61), Hugh Chaplin (PH 61-66), Andrew Payne (HS 70-74), Fergus Butler-Gallie (PS 05-10), Neil Lawson (PH 80-85), Graham Sheffield (MH 65-70), Alan Thompson (WH 59-64), James Spurgeon (FH 79-84), Sir Sandy Wilson (HS 54-59) and Harold Porter (PS 46-49).

The Tonbridge Society extends its thanks to Sir Sandy Wilson (HS 54–59) for suggesting such a delightful venue, whose central location and excellent travel links made it the perfect setting for the occasion.
