The invitation to attend is extended to all those eligible for membership, which now includes ex-pupils of Kidderminster High School for Girls and Queen Elizabeth I Grammar School, Hartlebury.

2026 Annual Dinner

Tickets cost £31.50 each, and are available to Association members and those eligible for membership; please consult David Simons on … if unsure. In addition to a starter, main course and pudding, cheese and biscuits plus tea and coffee will be served. Application forms were included with The Old Carolian, a copy of this year’s edition you should have received by no later than, we trust, the end of October; however, you may request a(nother) form by contacting David Simons. You may find it easier to book TBD; clicking on this link opens a ‘fill-in-the-blanks’ message and gives details to pay by bank transfer.
Applications will be accepted until 5 pm on Friday 13th November or until all places are allocated, whichever is the sooner.

Individual places will not be set, but there will be a semi-formal seating plan to group those of similar ages; therefore, please ensure when booking that you provide the year(s) in which you (and your fellow guests, if doing a group booking) started at the School. In a break with recent tradition, the tables may well be arranged as ‘islands’ this year.
The dress code is evening wear for ladies, and lounge suit and tie, or dinner jacket, for gentlemen.
The entrance will be along the outside of the Renwick building (with the pond on your right), and through the double doors at the bottom of the steps that link the Renwick building corridor with the Oldfield Hall.
No classrooms will be open for storing personal effects, and so please use the tuck shop, opposite the double doors into the Hall.
There will be no bar service, and so please bring your own refreshments; a selection of glasses will be provided, though.

The Committee members look forward to seeing you for what always promises to be a lovely evening.
