The School's Board of Trustees (formerly known as Governors of the School) have for many years held a position open for a Old Bordenian Association representative. Our most recent representative has now moved off the Board of Trustees and hence there is a vacancy for an Old Bordenian to replace him.

Having a voice on the Board of Trustees is an important right for the Association: it allows us to play our role in the School's governance and also identify how the Association can contribute to the School's success.

It was with much pleasure we were able to hold the 2019 Annual Reunion Dinner back at the School on 30th March. 66 Old Bordenians dined in the Old Hall and the Chairman, in his welcoming remarks, noted we had 'come home'.

Coincidental or just evidence of a strong science tradition in Borden? Current Year 7 pupil Rhys Dinmore achieved a great success in beating 60,000 entrants to get to the finals of a Computational Thinking Challenge hosted at Oxford University.

A 50 year Reunion has been organised for all ‘boys’ who started at Borden in 1962 and would have left in 1969 (if they did A levels), or who joined that group during that period.

The OBA Annual Reunion Dinner will be held on Saturday 30th March 2019. We are very pleased to confirm that this year we return to holding the dinner at the School. We are now taking bookings online and via post.

It is with sadness that we have been informed of the recent passing of Alun Davies, teacher at the School from 1959 to the mid-1990s. John Gardiner (1987-92) is a friend of the family and has provided an obituary for us. Many (including this website editor) will have had Mr Davies as a teacher at some point in their time at the School. The funeral will be held on Wednesday 12th December, 2pm, at the Garden of England Crematorium, Bobbing.

At the AGM on Friday 12 October, it was decided that the Association, in line with its aims, would offer financial support towards the cost of a new minibus for the School. The current minibus is nearing the end of its useful life and with School budgets being stretched, it was felt that this would be a helpful way to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to support the School.

We know Old Bordenians will support this initiative and we will be in touch soon to seek any further donations to aid us to fulfil this commitment.

The 2018 AGM of the Association was held at the School on Friday 12th October. The minutes can be accessed via the link below.

 OBA 2018 AGM (with papers)

Cliff Cork is organising a social get together on 3rd November 2018 (location TBA but somewhere in Sittingbourne) for anyone joining the School in 1965 and/or leaving in 1972. Given Cliff's address book is limited, he is keen to reach out to old schoolmates who would like to join him in November. If you are interested, please email the site administrator (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and we will put 'Corky' in touch with you! 

Bill Usher writes to send greetings to those in the Association who remember him from School and past dinners.
