As the crowd gathered in the Orchard Hall for dinner, the atmosphere was happy, lively and buzzing with conservation.  The dinner was also attended Lewis Hill (OPA President), Richard Baker (OPA Administrator), Tara George (Development Director) and Andrew Johnson (Headmaster).

The speakers this year were Charlie Crane (OP 2012), James Deehan (OP 2012), Lirim Gula (OP 2014) and Rufus Scholefield – team Dorabros, who are taking on the world’s toughest year in a series of challenges to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

They shared a snapshot of the gruelling challenges they had already completed, their upcoming challenges as well as reminiscing about their time at St Benedict’s, the life-long friendships they formed and the memories they will never forget.
