OA Updates

On Friday 21 November, members of the OA Committee paid a heartfelt visit to Ben Sykes. Many of you will know him as a former staff member who also served on the OA Committee, a role he took up in 1972, first as King’s Secretary until his retirement in 1999, and then as a normal Committee member until he stepped down in 2024.

During the visit the Committee presented him with a cheque as a token of their appreciation for his incredible commitment, support, and contribution over the decades.
