The Old Maidstonian Society AGM and Annual Supper will be held at the school on Friday 25th March 2022. Dress is jacket and tie.
The AGM will be held from 17:45 to 18:30. The Supper will commence promptly at 19:30, and will conclude equally promptly by 22:00, as there will again be a Master of Ceremonies to ensure that all runs on time, as it has done for the past couple of years, pre-covid.
The President, Nancy Powell, has once more invited Toby Davies as her guest. Toby left MGS in 1994. Since leaving he has worked as a stage and screen writer (something he began to much acclaim whilst at MGS). He has worked on major TV series, and stage shows, here and in the US for a range of production companies. We are certain he will be an entertaining speaker, and will be intrigued to hear what effect the pandemic has had on his industry.
The incoming President for 2022 to 2023 will be Graham Walker, who retired in 2018 after 37 years at MGS, and whom many of you will remember, not least because he was the President’s guest at the Annual Supper 2019.
There will again be a professional bar service with beer, spirits, port and soft drinks being served before dinner and also at tables during the meal. The bar will be open by 18:00, and the hall and bar will remain open until 23:00. Entrance will again only be through the main entrance door, where you will be greeted.
There will also be the now legendary raffle, tickets on sale on the night, any prize donations are very much welcome, please email the Membership Secretary with these via oms@oldmaidstonians.org.uk.
We are delighted to confirm that the caterers for the Annual Supper will be Cucina. They will again be preparing our meal, and the menu is appended to this post. The caterer will provide place names with each diner’s menu choices printed on one side.
