When Tim Heald (g 62) and Peter Moeller (a 55) organized the inaugural OS Media Lunch in 2002, I wonder whether they envisaged 40 guests packing the Genaro Room at the Groucho Club in 2009 for the eighth consecutive year.

This ever-popular event has a unique atmosphere with OS and guests from widely differing spheres of media activity blending together. Guests included Headmaster Simon Eliot and his wife Olivia, three OS Presidents, Tim Heald (past), Charles Collingwood (present) and Stanley Johnson (elect). Further glamour was added to the day by the presence of Emma Rose and Tansy Aked from Sherborne Girls.

If you work in any part of the media and did not receive an invitation to the event, please let us know so that we can invite you to the 2010 event which will be held in October.
