On Monday 2 December, OTs and their partners joined us for our London OT Carol Service at St-Giles-In-The-Fields, London WC2.

The Festival of Six Lessons and Carols was delivered by Tonbridge School Chaplain,The Reverend David Peters. We were delighted to be joined again this year by The Reverend Fergus Butler-Gallie (PS 05-10) from his parish in Oxfordshire. OTs were robust in their carol singing, and enjoyed Tonbridge favourites The First Nowell and O Come All Ye Faithful. The lessons were read by The Reverend Fergus Butler-Gallie, James Priory (Headmaster), Tom Tribe (PH 15-20), Peter Jones (OTS Committee, JH 95-00), Clair Miller (JH Matron) and The Reverend Tom Sander (Rector of St Giles-in-the-Fields).

Following the Carol Service, OTs and their guests gathered at The Angel pub next door. The Angel were expecting us this year and so were fully prepared. Last year we were grateful to Revd Tom Sander for jumping behind the bar to pull pints! This year, Tom was able to enjoy a pint standing at the other side of the bar. 

With many thanks to The Reverend Tom Sander and Lesley Goddard of St-Giles-In-The-Fields for all their help again this year.
