Brenda Hayman
Development Assistant
We have had a busy couple of months with OA events and overseas
visits plus the launch of the Sports Hub appeal. We also sadly said
farewell to Debbie Rew who worked part time in the office and was
a huge asset.
he OA office location in school is going to change in the summer,
I will be staying in the current location in the main school corridor
and Brenda is moving to an office next to the Archives, behind the
old Gym, and current drama studio. his move will allow OAs to
visit me in a more comfortable space and combine a visit to the
Archives with a visit to the OA Club office.
Our LinkedIn and Facebook groups are increasing in membership
and we are always pleased when new OAs join - we are easy to find
and there are a number of groups on Facebook, if you search for
King's College Taunton you will see the list. If you are reading this
electronically you can click on the links to take you to the pages. We
are always looking at ways of improving how we stay in touch with OAs and please do comment on the
revamped website.
Brenda and I really enjoy meeting OAs at events and when they drop into school and
you always welcome throughout the year to visit - come and see our new offices!
