I have long found it difficult to understand why for 19 years the Clapham Old Xaverians, Chairmans Lunch has been so successful. But I now firmly believe it is not only down to the incredible hard work of Eddie O'Brien and Mick Power, who are the driving force behind it, but also to you the regular members who turn up, year on year bringing with you old school friends you have tracked down and share them what is a uniquely enjoyable experience. It really is infectious.

Over the next few days more photos and videos will be added, here are a few to begin with.

A message from our Membership Secretary, Scotty Macdonald.

COXA Membership / Database - to the 230 Diners who expressed their appreciation, affection and gratitude to the memories of the College - READ ON....

In his Chairman's Address at the Lunch, David Leathem commented on the record number of paid-up numbers of Association.

COXA survives through the financial contribution of it's members and INDIVIDUAL envelopes, with details that we hold on you on our DATABASE, were on a table at the Lunch and "Diners" were asked to take theirs and comment, or update details.

About 1/3rd of you did this and I will be updating the content - and the four who left me cash - I will be writing to - which leaves me the other 2/3rds [or 110 Diners] who did not take their envelopes.... which is why I'm adding this section the Frank's Lunch article.

Inside the envelopes were your contact details [email address and home address], a photograph [many cut from group pictures at the last two Lunches - many very unflattering] and your Membership Status.

130 Life Members, 10 Cash Members, 10 £10 SO Members... all fine....

However there are SIX £5 a YEAR members who need to increase their SO to £10

There are FIVE "400 Club Members" who need to pay for Membership £10/year

And 30 Non Members who need to set up SOs, pay for Life Membership or send me £10 [...or more] for their 2015 Membership.

Friday was another fabulous event the culmination of hundreds of hours of work from YOUR COMMITTEE, but we need EVERYONE who attended, and those dozens who did not, to contribute both information [and CASH] to continue the sterling work!
