A cheerful lunchtime reunion of OWBs took place at the lovely De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel, kindly organised by Sam Wightman (with a special nod to his grandson, Hugh, the Sales Office Manager!). Joining the group were OWBA President Suzy Conchie, President-elect Jan Witheridge, WBS Foundation Vice-Chair Angela Webb, and Foundation & Alumni Director Amanda Reynolds.

With many of the group celebrating or nearing their 80th birthdays, it was a real joy to see them full of energy, sharing stories and laughter from their West Buckland days. A special afternoon of memories and friendship! #OWBA
