ANNUAL DINNER UPDATE
(7th December 2020)
 

2020 DINNER CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS
​

​2021 DINNER IS PROVISIONALLY BOOKED FOR MAUNDY THURSDAY AT THE OMEGA AT ABBEYDALE PARK. MORE DETAILS WILL FOLLOW.




As President of the Association I am extremely sorry to inform you that in the light of the recent outbreak of the Corona Virus Covid-19 and uncertainty surrounding the virility and spread of the disease,a joint decision has been made by the Committee of the Association and the School to cancel the 2020 dinner as rescheduling has proved impossible.

In the light of uncertainty regarding the continued spread of Covid 19, the changing face of the disease and the advice of the Government regarding socialising and travel, I am sorry to inform you that the viability of the 2021 Dinner still hangs in the balance. Nevertheless provisional arrangements have been made to hold the Dinner at the Omega at Abbeydale Park, Sheffield as always on Maundy Thursday which will be Thursday 1 April 2021.


I am aware that a number of you have already reserved your places for the event and I am extremely sorry to have to disappoint you all. On request full refunds will be made or indeed should you wish, confirmed bookings can be transferred to the later date.
Once again I apologise for the postponement and I will of course keep you informed of any future developments.

John Parr  (1968-75) President

The 2020 Old Edwardians' Annual Dinner,
Maundy Thursday 9th April 2020

King Edward VII School, Glossop Road, Sheffield.



Dress: Smart / Casual. Cost - £35.00 per head. Guests and partners welcome. Dinner 6.30pm for 7.15pm

As per long founded tradition the 2020 Old Edwardians' Association Annual Dinner will be held on Maundy Thursday 9th April 2020





































​

​Following the outstanding success of the 2019 dinner we are delighted to announce that the dinner will once again be held at the Upper School on Glossop Road, Sheffield. The numbers attending will be strictly limited to 120. Please ensure that you do not leave booking until the last minute as we may not be able to accommodate you.

As many of the guests have indicated, this annual event provides an opportunity for the attendees to meet old friends and to reacquaint themselves over dinner. 


As time at this event is precious, this year the formal address to the Old Edwardians will be kept to an absolute minimum and by way of experiment it has been decided that there will be no guest speaker contribution.
​
The commencement of the event has been brought forward with Dinner being served at 7.15 pm prompt which hopefully will provide an extended period of unrestricted time for socialising.

Please make every attempt to attend the dinner as this is the Associations' main fund-raising event and proceeds are always used to support many facets of the school.

You will be pleased to note that the proceeds of the 2019 Dinner has enabled the Association to provide two defibrillators to be sited in the Upper and Lower Schools.


We had one hundred and eleven attendees last year. Let’s see if we can improve on the numbers this year. 

Because of the nature of the venue it would be sensible to book your seat as early as possible. The application form is available as a download from this site.

The cost this year has been retained at £35.00.
