The 2009 OBA Dinner – Full Report
OLD BORDENIAN DINNER 16 May 2009
This year saw the Dinner moved to May as a trial run. Showing a full understanding of modern examination techniques by offering a multi choice (well two!) answer, Graham Barnes, our MC for the evening, asked by a show of hands from the gathered throng their preferred dinner date. May was the undisputed favourite. This was because:-
- nobody understood the question,
- Old Boys who preferred March had boycotted the meal,
- there was a danger that the Dinner would take place on both dates,

Graham firstly said how sad he was that John Macrae could not be with us and asked everyone to send their best wishes on the “Get well” card. Thanks were given to various people for their activities on the Committee – Rick Harris for all his work as Membership secretary, a role from which he was retiring (again!). Volunteers to take over were asked to attend a demanding interview process after the dinner. Mention was also made of Dave Palmer and Ryan Jarrett for bringing the web site to life, and Alan Snelling and Peter Lusted for organising the Dinner.

Football Report – 19th June 2009.
Having re-read the last football report (presented to the OBA committee and included in the minutes of the meeting of 6 March 2009 – to be found in ‘The Boring Bits’ section of this site) which was uncharacteristically optimistic and ventured to suggest that we had the very real prospect of finishing 3rd of the Sittingbourne 5-a-side League (Div 2) I have to report, and this will come as no surprise to the many avid readers of past football reports, that in fact we finished 6th or to the more unfeeling, last.
