Harrow Association

The Harrow Association is the focus and means by which all Harrovians can maintain their link with the School and with each other.

Today the Association organises House dinners, Songs twice a year, receptions for parents, regional and overseas dinners, parties for special interest groups, events on Speech Day, at Lord's, on Founder's Day and Association Day in September. It acts as a focal point for the various Old Harrovian clubs and societies such as the OH Association Football Club and the OH Players, and helps these organ

isations to organise events, recruit members and promotes their activities to Association members. The HA provides members with information on addresses of members, and its system of House and Overseas Representatives aims to provide OHs all over the world with as many opportunities to get together as possible. It also provides members with an annual report on Old Harrovian and School activities as well as sending out the Harrow Record magazine twice a year. An email newsletter is sent out to OHs for whom we have an email address twice a year (summer and winter) and The Harrovian Online is available to OHs on the website. For current pupils and young members, the Association liaises with working OHs to find work experience opportunities and makes financial awards to young members who need help with funding for enterprising ventures.

Over the summer, Harrow School Enterprises welcome children from across the globe to the Hill for the Harrow School Short Courses. These enriching programmes offer students the chance to develop their English skills while enjoying a diverse programme of activities and excursions.

We were pleased to see the return of six Old Harrovians, who generously lent their time and support to this year's Summer Schools.

While this week’s air traffic control disruption rather dashed our hopes of assembling all participating OHs for a photograph, we are pleased to acknowledge the excellent contributions of the following Old Harrovians who came back to the Hill -

Pictured: Freddie Taylor (Newlands 2017³), Alex Cox-Lang (The Knoll 2019³), and David Liu (Bradbys 2018³). And also: Tom Davies (Newlands 2012³), Hanno Sie (Newlands 2017³), and Emmanuel Olowe (The Grove 2018³)

For today’s , we’ve worked with the Archive to uncover these fantastic photos from the 2003 production of Macbeth in Speech Room.

The Old Harrovian Players return to the Hill to perform Julius Caesar, directed by Toby Deacon (Newlands 2003³), on 5 and 6 September. Full event details are available at ohconnect.org.uk/events/230.

Harrow’s Shakespearean tradition began in 1941, when Ronnie Watkins seized the opportunity—following bomb damage to Speech Room—to stage Twelfth Night with nothing but “a couple of box-trees and a beer-barrel” for scenery. The OH Players proudly continue this legacy with an annual Shakespeare performance in Speech Room.

128 years ago, on 18 July 1897, British racing driver and 1924 world land speed record breaker Ernest Elridge (H.B. and Small Houses 1909³) was born.

Eldridge left Harrow during the Sixth Form to serve on the Western Front as an ambulance driver with the British Red Cross during the First World War.

After the war, he turned to motor racing, becoming known for campaigning enormous, aero-engined cars. His early career included appearances at Brooklands with a 240hp Maybach-powered Isotta Fraschini, causing a sensation at over 100 mph.

In 1924, Eldridge made history by setting the World Land Speed Record at Arpajon, France, averaging 146.01 mph in his 350hp Fiat, famously nicknamed Mephistopheles. Later that year, he went on to set a further world record for distance covered in an hour at Montlhéry.

Huge congratulations to Ludo Findlay (Elmfield 2011³) and Charlie Horlick (The Grove 2011³), who have launched Ol Gaboli, a remote eco-lodge in Laikipia, Kenya.

As camp managers, the pair have played a central role in revitalising the country’s only Maasai women-owned lodge, following the withdrawal of key funding. Working closely with the local community and Kenyan conservation leaders, they have helped build a sustainable new model that gives Ol Gaboli a new lease of life.

To give their Instagram a kickstart, Ludo and Charlie are offering a three night free stay for up to 6 people in 2025 or 2026. Find out how you can win, and find out more about the lodge by following their Instagram account -
