Dear Old Bedfordian


Happy New Year!

It's 'all systems go' now that we are back after the holidays. Our New Year's Resolution is to clean up our database and make sure everyone's contact details are up to date. Are we sending this to the best email address for you? Have you informed us of a recent house move? Have you received this to a work email but you're changing job soon? Are you aware of fellow OBs who have lost contact with the Club? You can update us by dropping us a quick email to obclub@bedfordschool.org.uk or using Connect, the Club's online database - you can easily amend the details in your profile by registering or logging in here.

Our main e-communications to you are changing slightly in 2014. You are reading our first new formal 'News' email, sent monthly, which includes the Head Master's e-bulletin. We have had feedback that you like to keep informed about upcoming events, but do not want it 'lost' amongst the news. You will therefore receive a separate monthly 'Events' email too. You can also refer to the website for the full list of all events taking place until July 2014.

We hope that you may plan to get more involved with the OB Club in 2014. Why not gather a group of your school friends together for one of our events, either at the School or at one of the national or international events? Make sure to register your attendance as soon as possible to ensure a place.

OB Club Subscribing Members (those paying yearly subs of £25) will have received their hard copies of the Ousel in December, the main publication for OB news. If you are interested in becoming a Subscriber find out more and sign up here. Subscribers also benefit from discounts to key Club events and have access to the Bedford School Heritage website, containing searchable back copies of the Ousel, back to 1876.

Best wishes for 2014. As always we welcome your feedback and ideas.
Richard, Gina and Alex

From the Head Master...

I am writing on the first full day of the holidays and, inevitably that is always a good feeling! A copy of the Ousel sits on my desk as I write, full of the achievements of the 2012-13 year... some of them seem a long time ago now. It is a delight, though a sadness too, to see the Guy Fletcher painting adorn the front cover; the former Director of Sport, who sadly died in July, is remembered by all who knew him. 2012-13 only seems distant, of course, because the Autumn Term was filled with so much...
