Mess Night Delights

Thank you to Hon OV Andrew Maund for this lovely report of the 2023 King’s School CCF Mess Dinner:

“Camouflage kit was swapped for Mess Dress, ball gowns or black tie last Friday evening as 138 members of the King’s School CCF gathered in all their finery for their annual Mess Dinner, held this year in the splendid surroundings of Grafton Manor in Bromsgrove.

“Included among the guests were OVs of several generations, including Lt Col Andrew Booton (K 80-89), as well as OVs who had left more recently and their guests.

“After welcome drinks and photographs in the grounds, everyone moved inside just before the rain for a fine dinner, followed by the Loyal Toast, speeches, and the presentation of thank-you gifts and awards, including Leavers’ Medals for the departing Upper Sixth cadets.

“The evening was masterminded by current Lower Sixth Cadet NCO Emilia D, who deserves our sincere thanks and congratulations upon all her efforts.”
