Old Huntingdonians' Association

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Old Huntingdonians Association exists to provide former pupils of Huntingdon Grammar School (1565 - 1970) and Hinchingbrooke School (since 1970) with the opportunity to keep in touch with each other and with the school today.

Founded in 1933, the OHA is a relatively informal association, operating through a mailing list and now through this web page. It has no membership fee - all former pupils of the two schools can ask to be added to the mailing list.

The OHA is run by a small committee, which currently comprises:

Chairman - Hilary While
Vice-Chairman – Alan Butler
Secretary - Ann Monk
Treasurer - Ann Davies
Membership List Secretary - Richard Cook
Web-page coordinator - Lynn Fortin
John Gill

The former Head of Hinchingbrooke School, Peter Downes,  (1982-96) is the OHA President.

The OHA publishes a newsletter annually in early January which is distributed by post or by e-mail to those who have access to the internet and register to receive it in this way. 

The OHA normally organises three events each year:

  • The Annual Dinner is usually held early in March and there is often a guest speaker - a former pupil or member of staff perhaps.
  • On the first Sunday in July, a Buffet Lunch is held in Hinchingbrooke House. This a less formal event than the Annual Dinner. After lunch, a short AGM is held and then guests can either look round the historical House, guided by present-day students, or take a walk round the school site.
  • The Recent Leavers' Reunion is held shortly before Christmas and is targeted at former students who left in the preceding summer but one. It takes place in Hinchingbrooke House and is entirely informal.

A recent project of the OHA has been the purchase of a top quality grand piano for the school in memory of Ken Brown, for many years the Music Master at the Grammar School. The OHA now promotes a winter series of concerts built round the Bösendorfer piano and details can be found by clicking here.
