Michael Smy (S57-66) reports:
This year's Newmarket Supper was held at the Rutland Arms Hotel, Newmarket on Friday, 17th May 2013 when 39 members and guests dined in the attractively restored Wolverton Room. Mr. Chris Hobson, Deputy Head (Pastoral) of Framlingham College, gave a lively review of recent College events from the perspective of the school’s seven houses, which was enjoyed by all. The President of the Society, Mr Richard Sayer, responded. He concluded his speech by referring to the on-going discussions between the Society and the College. The objective of these discussions was to agree on the best way of giving financial and administrative support to the Society. This would involve greater integration of operational structures, with an SOF presence within the College. An outcome was sought which would be to the mutual benefit of both the College and the Society. A toast to the College was then proposed.
The Hon. Secretary, Mr Norman Porter, announced that this was Ms Leigh Cunningham’s last SOF function as she was leaving the College. He thanked her on behalf of the Society for all the help she had given as Alumni and Events Officer over the past five years and said she would be sorely missed. He then presented her with some orchids as a small token of the Society’s appreciation and added that he hoped she would be able to attend the proposed dinner for Honorary OFs.
