OBS Business Lunch

What a superb way to kick off the festive season, and the third “reloaded” OB business lunch was a resounding success.

A solid turn out and great to see some familiar faces along with some new ones, the OB business lunch continues to gather momentum – pleasing to see people making new connections and re-discovering old ones.

With special thanks to our sponsors, Brabners, Rathbones, Primas Law, SB&P and Birkenhead School, we hope to see everyone at the next event.

Old Birkonian Annual London Dinner! A night to remember!

An incredible night was had by all at the OBS Annual London Dinner, set in the ground of the Houses of Parliament on Friday 17th November 2023. The venue was awe inspiring, and with an excellent attendance of over 130 OBs, this was a night nobody will forget.

Our grateful thanks to OB MP Karl McCartney for the opportunity to host the dinner in such a prestigious venue, and also to Will Roberts (Chair of the OB Society), Paul Vicars (Headmaster of Birkenhead School), OBS council members, archives representatives and all who attended for helping to make the evening a huge success.

UNDER-25S OB DRINKS

The focus was on the young alumni of Birkenhead School in September, as the Old Birkonian Society put on a drinks event for their under-25 cohort at the Library in Oxton.

Many of those who attended were fresh members of the Society, having just finished their A Levels, so it was a perfect chance to let them know about the networking opportunities and events that they can look forward to in the years to come as they begin their professional journeys. Also in attendance were those who were soon due to be going back to university or undertaking apprenticeships, as well as staff from the School and representatives from the OBS Council.

The Society are looking forward to their next events which include their annual London Dinner this year to be held at the Houses of Parliament in November, and a business networking Liverpool Lunch in December.

OB Andrew Walker takes part in the Chester-Liverpool 25 mile Charity Bike Ride

On 2nd July 2023 OB Andrew Walker took party in the 25mile Chester-Liverpool Bike Ride, and successfully raised £200 for Clatterbridge Cancer Charity.

The charity holds a special place in his heart , and did a fantastic job taking part and raising money for a very worth while cause. Andrew’s full story is below:-

I have been in remission from Stage III cancer since treatment at Clatterbridge Oncology Centre in 1998.  Having found out about the Liverpool -Chester-Liverpool ride, I decided to do 25 miles for the Cancer Charity in memory of my beloved father, George Emlyn Walker, my Granddad John Kelsall Rogerson, my aunt Betty Walker, and my cousin's husband John Morgan.  RIP.

It was most remiss of me not to express my thanks to the doctors and nurses at Clatterbridge, because I owe them my life.  Incidentally, after I had recovered from the chemotherapy, I use to cycle to Clatterbridge over several months for my appointments with the oncologist Dr Peter Clark, because it was a lot faster than the bus!  However, in view of the traffic, I don’t dare do it now.
