On Saturday 17 August 2024, several members of the Class of 2014 met at The Mitre for a braai after the BishBosch Derby.   This was their ten year reunion.

The ODA was invited to say a few words by one of the organisers, Louis Whaley (MH) the other organiser being Justin Heunis (OH).

The function took the form of a braai.  Several of them had played in an OD v Rondebosch Old Boys' hockey match the night before; and they had been together as a group at the BishBosch rugby today.

By all accounts these ODs loved coming back to their school, and meeting each other again, some of them not having seen each other for a long time.

What better a place to do this than at The Mitre, the Home of the ODU!
