This event was attended by 88 OWs and their partners and began in the Staff Common Room, in previous incarnations this room was the School Library and before that the School Dining Hall, with welcome speeches from Headmaster Stephen Cole, OW Registrar Michael Weaver and OW President Ken Bailey.

Lastly, we celebrated 38 years service of Mark Mitchels and Michael Weaver both of whom retired from teaching at the end of the Summer Term 2007.

Michael Weaver was also presented with champagne again in celebration of his 38 years at Woodbridge School and the difference he had made not only within the curriculum and outside of the curriculum but also in the local community where he had done so much to preserve and enhance local history for the benefit of future generations.
Michael gave a classic 'Weaver' speech lasting 40 minutes or more and packed full with stories, witticisms and heavily laced with its own particular brand of well phrased humour.
It was wonderful; the audience lapped it up; many roared with laughter incessantly, one lady on the next table was chortling so much she couldn't catch her breath and at one stage it looked like an ambulance would be needed!
I have heard many after-dinner speakers many of whom were delightfully entertaining and funny to listen to, but who pale into insignificance when compared to Michael's wonderful ability to talk and entertain at the same time.
He said he was grateful to have been able to do a job which he loved doing and at the same time get paid for it - although the payment was not that much!
