<p>The Old Cranleighan Lawyers&rsquo; Society (&ldquo;OCLS&rdquo;) is exactly what it says on its metaphorical tin: a society of Old Cranelighans who work in the legal field. The objective of the OCLS is to act as a fun and informal forum for OC lawyers to meet up with each other annually and generally in London. It is also hoped that the OCLS will be beneficial to new graduates interested in the law by facilitating opportunities to meet experienced lawyers in an informal environment.</p><p>The OCLS has over 80 members, but we would love to see it grow further and&nbsp;welcome new members, whether qualified or aspiring lawyers in training. Any OCs&nbsp;who wish to join the OCLS, or would like to attend its next event, should contact&nbsp;Alexi Dimitriou at <a href="mailto:alexi.dimitriou@ashurst.com?subject=Joining the OC Lawyers' Society">alexigdimitriou@googlemail.com</a>. You can also search for the &ldquo;Old&nbsp;Cranleighan Lawyers&rsquo; Society&rdquo; group on the LinkedIn website and request to become&nbsp;a member.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

In 2013 the name was changed to become the OC TMT (Technology, Media &amp; Telecommunications) Society.</p> <p>The key objectives of the society are to create an environment that will facilitate networking opportunities between members in an informal environment and also provide opportunities for recent graduates interested in a career in the media to meet experienced media professionals. As the media industry continues to rapidly evolve, the society is open to professionals of all media platforms, be it&nbsp;digital media,&nbsp;television, film, advertising, radio or the printed word.</p> <p>The society hosts regular events roughly 1-2 times a year which will involve talks from influential OC&rsquo;s working in the media and opportunities for all members to mix and network.</p> <p>The success of the society inevitably depends on the effort and ideas that the members are willing put in to the society, and as a result, the society has a burgeoning online community on LinkedIn, which provides good opportunities for members to get in contact with other OC&rsquo;s. This group page is also a very useful opportunity for members to post job and internship opportunities.

<p>Twenty years ago John Burree (2 North 1944-1948), together with other OCs from the 40s and 50s decided to hold an Annual Reunion Lunch for all Old Cranleighans living in the South West. This popular event was held in East Devon and Somerset in the early years and 40 OCs often attended.</p> <p>Recent years had seen a fall in numbers as the older members cease to attend, but we are happy to report a rise in numbers as contact has been made by our new South West OC Society Secretary, Garth Goodwin (1&amp;4 South 56)&nbsp; to many who were unaware of the club and we have tracked down some of the 300 plus that now live in the region. Over 20 OCs who left Cranleigh over a 40 year span attended the 2017 Spring Lunch and we welcomed new members from the 60s,70s and 80s who will hopefully take the club on into the next decade.</p> <p>The South West region stretches from Bristol to Bournemouth and West to Lands End so to make the lunches more accessible to the whole region&nbsp;we now hold an Autumn Reunion Lunch near Launceston for those living in Cornwall and Devon, and a Spring Lunch at Ilminster that covers OCs from the whole of the South West. For more details contact Garth via his profile.</p>

We have now in excess of 180 members and we meet annually for a reasonably priced buffet lunch in the West End of London.</p> <p>The Property World is very much a contact business and the purpose of the Society is for OC&rsquo;s to network which is something a computer cannot do! As important, the other purpose of the Society is to support those OCs looking for work while starting out in the profession or merely looking to improve their circumstances.</p> <p>Join here and you should receive approval within a couple of days, however if you don&#39;t please contact vli@cranleigh.org and she will ensure you are put in touch.</p>

<p>In March 2017 approximately 40 OCs including a few partners gathered together in a pub in the historic Rocks area of Sydney.<br /> <br /> There were some OCs who hadn&rsquo;t seen each other since leaving Cranleigh and for some of them that was over 60 years ago&nbsp;&ndash; others met for the first time.&nbsp; There were many varied conversations, some about Cranleigh in &ldquo;the good old days&rdquo;; others about Cranleigh as it is now, whilst others talked about how they saw the future of the school.</p> <p>It was a wonderful evening and the feeling was that the reunion had been a great success and well worth repeating sometime in the not too distant future.<br /> <br /> Our local representative is&nbsp;Barton Furse-Roberts (2&amp;3 South, 1957-1962) and you can contact him through this site with any ideas or suggestions, or alternatively email Vickie at the OCS on vli@cranleigh.org and she will put you in touch with Barton outside of the site.</p>

In its present form, the Club was founded in April 1937 and, apart from the years of the Second World War, has remained active ever since.<br /> <br /> We are actively seeking new members to join the Club for the 2017 season. Whether you shot with the CCF when you were at the School, or maybe tried shooting while at University, or even if you&rsquo;ve never shot before, you&rsquo;ll be made very welcome (and no doubt bought a drink in the SRA bar after the shoot).&nbsp;<em>Rifle shooting is also one of the very few (competitive) sports where men and women compete on completely equal terms.</em>&nbsp;We can provide all necessary coaching and equipment for the beginner, and can advise what kit you might want to consider buying first if you decide that this is a sport you want to take further. If this sounds of interest then please contact Rob Pile via email (<a href="mailto:rob.pile@outlook.com">rob.pile@outlook.com</a>) or on 07976 257010.</p> <p>Despite the &ldquo;closed&rdquo; nature of its catchment constituency, the Club is an entirely properly regulated rifle club within the terms that prevail in the United Kingdom: it has Home Office approval and is affiliated to The National Rifle Association, the governing body for the shooting discipline it mainly pursues. It is also affiliated to the Surrey Rifle Association at Bisley Camp which it uses as its headquarters.</p> <p>Very predominately, the type of shooting involved makes use of weapons to NRA Target Rifle specification with 7.62 mm calibre ammunition and at ranges from 300 yards to 1000 yards. This all takes place at the NRA Ranges at Bisley Camp. Sometimes we challenge the School Smallbore (.22&Prime; cal.) Team at Cranleigh. The Shooting Committee arranges a programme of fixtures for the summer season each year. The events include a mix of practice shoots, team matches and individual competitions and, in accordance with the basis of the Club&rsquo;s foundation, an entry for at least one team in the Schools Veterans Competition in the NRA Imperial Meeting. The Club may also be invited to take part in events organised by the Surrey Rifle Association. The Club encourages members to take part in other competitions open to them, particularly the NRA Imperial Meeting.</p>

<p>To qualify for Club membership you must have served or currently be serving in HM Armed Forces, this can include National Service if applicable.&nbsp;</p>

We invite you to increase your &pound;15 donation by as much as you feel able to.&nbsp;
