Annual Spring Luncheon
We staged our usual spring buffet luncheon on Thursday 23rd May 2019, at which there were 24 OH’s present spanning several HCS decades. We also welcomed Patricia Brittain, daughter of former Headmaster Jack Hopewell. She occupied No. 1 Castle Street with her father during his tenure in charge just after WWII until his death in 1957.Also present was School Development Director Claire Morgan-Jones and Helen Pearson, Alumni Officer, both of whom had travelled down to London in the early hours from Hereford via. Newport so they could be with us. They brought with them copies of Blue & Gold, being a school news bulletin distributed to students and their parents at the end of each term.Not to be outdone following a previous luncheon, when a number of members showed us their old school uniform, including cap, scarf, boater, rowing colours etc., David Bland turned up wearing his OH Blazer!Peter
