Turkey Branch Reunion
Report from Sashah Khan (1982-87; Butleigh), Honorary Secretary
It was with great pleasure, after many years of wanting to attend an official Millfield Reunion Dinner, that we finally held the first OM dinner in Istanbul, Turkey. I had the pleasure of hosting the event with Kevin Cheney and his wife Hilary, along with Emir Uras (1983-88; Shapwick), an architect and my partner in the 360 Entertainment Group.
The event took place at our flagship restaurant, “360”, and kicked off with cocktails as the guests arrived. Most of the guests were meeting one another for the first time and all were relaxed and chattering away by the time we sat down for our evening meal. Kevin and I made short speeches welcoming all the OMs and Kevin rounded off the introductions by handing out OM ties to the boys and scarves to the girls. The night felt like a "who’s who" OMS reunion with a truly remarkable scope of years from 1946 to 2005 being represented from the 20 OMs that attended. The youngest OM was 24 and the oldest was 76. It was amazing to see everyone on one table enjoying each other's company late into the night.
It was an excellent evening and I hope to host another very special OM night like this one very soon.
