Another year, another OP lunch...

It was wonderful to welcome back Old Portmuthians at the annual OP lunch, this year held at PGS Hilsea Playing Fields which, as Head David Wickes pointed out, brought back fun memories of achievement and success but possibly also the dread of sports fixtures from years ago.

It was great to welome some OPs who had never attended an OP event before, as well as some more familiar faces too. 

The highlight for many was the annual OP quiz curated by our archivist. Some very challenging questions but an impressive perfomance from our winning team who each took home a giant chocolate medal!
