OLD PALMERIANS' AFTERNOON TEA

It has been a number of years since the last Palmerian Old Boys’ dinner, disrupted by a combination of unhelpful venues, and of course, the pandemic. As we look to rebuild the Association’s social momentum, the Committee is pleased to announce the inaugural Old Palmerians’ afternoon tea, taking place on Saturday, 18 April. Full details follow below – to book your place, please confirm by email.

Please note, the venue has seating capacity of no more than 40 places, which will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

Venue: Top Medow Golf Club
Date: 18 April 2026 (Time TBC)
Price: £16.50 per head

N.B. A non-returnable deposit of £6.00 per guest to secure your place will be advanced by the OPA, with full payment made by the attendee on the day. Final confirmation is required by Wednesday 15 April.

Please email us to secure a place.

Following the AGM in November 2023, it was agreed that
subscriptions would be £0 for the year 2024/25
i.e. subscriptions that fall due in September 2024.
Please remember to contact your bank to cancel any standing orders etc.

FUTURE OF THE ASSOCIATION
The future of the Association was discussed at the AGM and it was agreed that, as the membership and Committee ages, it is going to become more difficult to run the Association, particularly in its current format.
The Committee is exploring several ideas, raised at the AGM and subsequent Committee meetings, which, we hope, will provide the Association with a future for a number of years yet, albeit in a different format.
More information to follow.
