OAA Keeping Connected

We’re excited to announce our bi-annual Old Aysgarthian Association Drinks Party in London on Thursday, 9th October
2025! More details will follow, for what is always a fantastic evening of reconnecting and reminiscing with fellow OAs. In
2023 we welcomed over 100 OAs, and we can’t wait to build on that this year.

This is a reminder that the OAA publishes three informative newsletters annually. To ensure you receive these valuable updates, please complete the brief update form at OAA Membership if you are not currently subscribed.

We’re really looking forward to meeting up with our younger OAs in Oxford at the Turf Tavern on 25th February.

Through planning for the event, we’ve connected with 13 OAs currently studying in Oxford, however, it’s not too late to get involved! If you’d like to join us, please email Debbie at dstanford@aysgarthschool.co.uk.

Eileen Harrison-Topham, a dedicated member of the Aysgarth Old Aysgarthian community, has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in The King's New Year Honours List. This prestigious recognition acknowledges her outstanding service to communities in East and North Yorkshire. Eileen served as the OAA Secretary for an impressive 30 years from 1986 to 2016, playing a crucial role in keeping the Aysgarth community connected. It was a delight to see her at the recent OA Carol Service.

Just a friendly reminder that we send out three OAA newsletters each year packed with helpful info and updates. If you haven't been receiving them, we want to make sure you're in the loop! It's super easy to get on the list – just fill out the quick update form OAA Membership so we can make sure you're included in all future mailings.

Recognising that many within the Aysgarth community couldn't join the Goddard family on the South Coast this summer for Caroline Goddard's memorial, the School is hosting a special service in her honour. We invite you to join us in celebrating Caroline's life at the School Chapel on Friday, November 3rd, at 6:30 pm, followed by a gathering for refreshments.

In view of the chapel's capacity, we kindly request all those planning to attend to register using the provided RSVP link below. Your presence will help us pay tribute to Caroline's memory in a meaningful way.
