• OKC Annual Dinner 2016
    A club owned by and run for the benefit of its members.

About the Club

The Old King’s Club has been the way for former pupils of King's College School to keep in touch with each other and with their old teachers since 1884. It has often been said that the three pillars of the King's community are the school's staff, its governing body and the Old King's Club. The club is there to promote the “honour and well-being” of its members and of the school. Social activities include dinners and get-togethers in London and further afield. The club runs successful rugby, football, golf, tennis, shooting and other sporting sections. The annual Careers Evening gives members the chance to offer advice to current pupils and to meet old friends. The annual Duel Day dinner provides an entertaining link to the foundation of King's in 1829.

Members are entitled to wear one of the club's ties, its buttons and cufflinks.

The Club is owned by its members and is independent of the School and receives administrative and limited financial support from the school.

The club is part of the King's Association, which serves the wider King's community.

Annual membership is free and open to all King's past pupils.

Old Boys’ Cup Champions

I’m delighted to share that the KCSOBFC 1st XI became champions of the Old Boys Cup on Saturday, with a resounding 5-1 victory over Old Reigatians in the final. This represents a major milestone for the club, clinching silverware for what I believe is the first time (although Mikey in copy, I’m sure, will confirm). The 1st XI have also run Old Carthusians all the way in the Arthurian Premier League, but with two games still to play, look likely to finish a mighty impressive runner-up, equalling the club’s highest league finish.

I have not been involved due to increasing work and family commitments, but I hear that the pitch has gone from strength to strength this year, coping much better, particularly through the winter months, than last year. This has undoubtedly laid the foundations for success on the pitch, and we hope this will only continue to grow as the club establishes itself as one of the premier outfits in the Arthurian Division.
