JAN

The return of the Chin-wag

  • Tuesday 23rd January 2024
  • 7 PM GMT

As many of you will remember we began quarterly “Chin-wags” for the OSA members during lockdown, enabling us to connect via Zoom, with friends old and new around the country and indeed around the world. In those dark times it was great to share memories with fellow Old Boys and Girls.

As we enter 2024, Andy Crow (Chair of the OSA Executive Committee) is re-booting this initiative which he created as President in 2020. The sessions will give Andy an opportunity to update you all on the Association and of course have some great chats in the breakout rooms.

If you would like to join the call please email Andy at and he will send you the invite link a couple of days beforehand.
