Radley Then & Now
Shop
For a Radleian, there are nearly five hours of hunger between breakfast and lunch, and another five from lunch to supper. The only remedy? Shop. Join us as we journey through over 170 years of Shop, one of Radley’s best-known and most-loved institutions. ‘Jam Money’ could be spent on all sorts of treats, from Wagon Wheels and Cola, to ice cream and egg mayo sarnies. The iconic chicken roll had boys racing to join the queue for Shop at 10.44am throughout the 1990s. Clare Sargent, Radley Archivist, leads the discussion, and ORs chip in with their...

Radley Then & Now
The 1960s
This episode of Radley Then & Now looks at life at Radley College in the 1960s. The sixties are remembered as an era of rebellion and transformation: in society, science and the arts. But did these revolutions cause ripples on College Pond? Were Radleians taking giant leaps, twisting and shouting, or boldly going where no Radleian had gone before? Hear from College Archivist Clare Sargent and a lively gathering of Old Radleians and former dons.

The CCF
ORs and members of the Radley College community join College Archivist, Clare Sargent, to discuss the history of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF). From its beginnings at the turn of the 20th Century, the Officer Training Corps (OTC, later CCF) has been a central part of the Radley College experience. We've been gathering memories of the CCF for the last few months. Lots of square-bashing, mud, camping on Brecon and boot-polishing. Vivid memories of a brief time in every Radleian's life. Some went on to military careers ... others vowed never to wear a uniform again.

Olympians
Radley College has been involved in the Olympics since the inauguration of the modern games by Pierre de Coubertin in 1894. Theodore Cook, OR, was an enthusiastic supporter of the movement and served on the IOC from 1909 until 1915. He used his influence as a classicist, journalist and sportsman to promote the ideas of sport for all and peaceful international cooperation. He encouraged many boys from the school to help with the first London Olympics as ground staff and stewards. Old Radleians, teaching staff and parents have been involved in the Olympics ever since. We were lucky to be...

The Marionette Society
With its roots in the 1940s, the Marionette Society produced more famous ORs than any other aspect of Radley life - from Oscar winners to professional puppeteers, theatre directors to senior civil servants. It is the only society which encompassed all the creative and performance arts - sculpture, costumes, lighting, woodworking, sound, orchestra. The only society to perform complete Mozart operas. For more than 40 years it dominated, indeed engulfed, the lives of those involved, boys, dons, musicians, Radley's resident girls. The modern Radleian may be baffled by this obsession with 'puppets' (Puppets?) but here is the chance...

Rugger Will Be Played
In 1823, Webb Ellis picked up the ball at Rugby School, and ran with it. This controversial action is being celebrated throughout the world in this bicentenary year of the game of rugby. Radley had developed its own game – 12 good men, engaging in puddings and squashes. How different would the world be if Radley Football had triumphed in place of Rugby Football? It sacrificed its own football game in favour of the new rules of Association in the 1870s but already there was a movement to go to the dark side (or into the light, depending on your po...

The Dons' Plays
This Radley Then & Now event celebrates 100 years since the very first Dons' Play at Radley College. You can't keep a good don down. In 1923, the Dons’ Plays became a Radley institution, and so began 100 years of truly bad puns and jolly dodgy costumes. The most popular performances were written in-house. There were pantomimes in the 1940s by Theo Cocks with music composed by Ceddie Borgnis; in the 1960s until the 1980s, Peter Way wrote a series of 'masterspieces' with music composed by Donald Paine. Join us as we look back over a century of total role reversal. What do you re...
