Report
Over 100 Old Edwardians and their partners visited the top floor of Symphony Hall for drinks and canapes before this year's Summer Concert kicked off. They were joined by John Claughton, Chief Master, who spoke for a few minutes about the importance of the Assisted Places Fund and thanked them all for supporting such a worthwhile cause. After reminiscing with each other about their time at school, the group then made their way downstairs to watch yet another fantastic performance by the boys and girls at King Edward's School and King Edward's High School.
