This July both Lily (DON, 21-23) and Freddie (SCH, 18-23) became Old Breconians. 

They joined Dad Dino (SHB, 85-92), Mum George (nee Turley) (DEW, 92-94) and sister Isabel (DON, 19-21) as Breconians and all 5 became the first family - parents and children - to become OB's.

Before you ask - there have been other families but these have been marriages between OB's and Ex girls of St David's Convent.

Welcome to a unique club.
