OI Cross Country - The OI Team Takes the Win Once Again!

It was a pleasure to welcome our OIs back to Fynn Valley.

The weather broke and the sun shone on Saturday as we welcomed the OI team to Poplar Farm in Tuddenham. The event is open to pupils at other Schools in East Anglia to compete as well as the OI vs School race. 

The OI team were strong, with Chris Wijnberg (OI 2004-18) taking the win and Gordon Irvine (OI 1990-97) as runner up. After enjoying the run, the competitors made their way back to school for presentations, food and drink in the school dining hall. 

A tour of the school was a must for OIs who hadn't been back to the school for a while and wished to see the old haunts. Memories flooding back, and lots to take in including the search for a graffitied brick, etched in the 1970's! We found it. 

We hope to host the event next year, and it is usually scheduled for the first Saturday in March. Keep an eye on the website for more details.
