Issue 2
THE OKS OVERSEAS NEWSLETTER
Dear Overseas OKS, Welcome to the second OKS Overseas Newsletter. I hope you enjoy reading it. In this Newsletter, in addition to articles from OKS based in Australasia, Brazil and Gibraltar, there are also accounts of OKS travelling abroad. For example read about Lisa Suits, who volunteered at the Bhutan National Museum on a whim, and Andy Cobb, who was inducted into the Masai tribe whilst holidaying in Kenya. The OKS Association wishes all OKS to feel part of the wider OKS community, whether based in the UK or overseas. To this end we have a number of OKS Overseas Representatives who keep in contact with OKS in their respective countries. Please do have a look at the list on the final page of the newsletter to find out who your Overseas Representatives are.
It is always lovely to meet OKS who are able to pop in to the School on a when passing through Canterbury. If you are visiting Canterbury do come and see me in the OKS & Foundation Office, which is situated just inside the Mint Yard Gate, opposite the security box. You will be very welcome. If you haven’t yet logged on to the OKS website don’t forget to have a look at the site (www.oks.org.uk). Have a look at the latest news and events and follow the link to The Cantuarian website where all the issues are available to view online. We always like to hear news from OKS, so do contact me if you would like to share an announcement with the OKS Community. We are also on Facebook (The OKS Association page), LinkedIN (The King’s School Canterbury & OKS Group) and Twitter (@OKSAssociation).
In this issue: "Coppice Green" to "a Sun-burnt Country", Martin Reeson Life is Good Downunder, Andy Ridings Wine from a "Ten Quid Pom", Mark Swann Brief Encounters from the Antipodes, John (Len) Hutton Bhutan: A Himalayan Adventure, Lisa Suits
If you would like to contribute an article or become an OKS Overseas Representative I’d be delighted to hear from you. With best wishes,
Kirsty Mason OKS Coordinator
