We also encourage our Members to share their professional skills, knowledge and contacts for the benefit of ONs via our Mentoring Programme. Social events, sports and good causes continue to be central to what we are about. Over the decades Society Members have decided to support good causes which benefit boys and girls in the City of Nottingham, pupils at Nottingham High School and fellow ONs. Our Officers and Committee members regularly attend AROPS conferences to share experiences and ideas. The Society has been a member of AROPS - The Schools' Alumni Association since 1983. In 1961 the Society was renamed the Old Nottinghamians' Society and in 1965 the ONs bought our own sports ground at Adbolton. It still held reunion dinners, but also brought former pupils together to take part in a range of sporting activities. In 1902 the headmaster Dr George Sherbrooke Turpin (also a former pupil) formally established the Nottingham High School Old Boys’ Society. The parent Society has its roots in a Nottingham High School Old Boys’ Dinner Committee, which was founded in the 1870s and which held several dinners every year in various parts of the country. Old Nottinghamians Society Sports & Social Club Old Nottinghamians' Society Affiliated Groups The Society values all the time, energy and care devoted by Members who are involved in providing all the opportunities for fellow ONs and others in our affiliated groups. The greatest asset that the ONs possess is ONs. We are a democratic organisation, whose objective for decades has been ‘the promotion of good fellowship among the Members, and the promotion generally of interest in Nottingham High School.’ Our Members, ultimately, decide everything: what our rules are what we are called what our objectives are who can join us who represents us who conducts the business of the Society who manages our finances and how we spend our money. The Society uses its funds to serve our Members and to support the good causes which they have decided we should champion.
