Welcome to TOBA
The Old Burfordian Association (TOBA) is a warm and welcoming organisation open to all former pupils, teaching and other staff, governors, and everyone who has been very closely involved with Burford School, in Burford, West Oxfordshire.
What is TOBA all about?
TOBA is about memories, connections, old friends, and reunion.
It's about strange school dinners, and exploits on the cricket pitch. It's about French tests, bizarre teachers and those who set us on the right path in life. It's about playing in the school orchestra, boarding, learning to swim, school romances, life-long friendships, the best and worst time of our lives, and 'whatever happened to whatshisname?'
We care very much about what we remember, but we also remember that what made some of us sing made some of us sad. So while we tell our own story, we try to listen to each other's, even when it's different. We swing along together, and we take pride in all being members of... The Fabulous Old Burfordian Association
Stop press! Re-union '24
TOBA held its latest re-union on Saturday 21st September... 150+ attended, and a grand time was had by all. Meeting old friends, conversation, looking at the photographs, enjoying the tea and coffee, buying TOBA merchandise... What's not to like. See a swift tour around the merry throng here...
What is on the TOBA website?
First of all, if you're looking for up-to-date information about Burford School, and what it offers its pupils today, you need to head over to the official school website HERE.
This TOBA website is different... It's new (September 2024), has no 'imposed content', (ie. nothing official!), and will reflect entirely the wishes and whims of TOBA members. So far there are some school memories from members, some bits and pieces about life at Burford School, and some fabulous TOBA merchandise!
Everything else will come from YOU, as the website builds!
So, do please send us anything you'd like to share about your memories of Burford School...
... and we mean anything!
* Digital photographs and scans of people, 'Burford things', and interesting documents
* Written memories of people, places, and escapades
* Where's whathisname? and other pressing questions
* Ideas for TOBA events and reunions
* Anything relating to your life and experiences at Burford School
Just email anything and everything to: TOBA@naturalbest.co.uk
