Planning for Back to Newington Day is well underway and, in our 150th Anniversary Year, we will be delighted to welcome back many familiar faces to build a huge crowd of support for the boys during their sport on the day. This year we very warmly welcome the communities of Shore (S.C.E.G.S.), The Scots College and The Armidale School (T.A.S) at our Stanmore Secondary Campus.

The Alumni Year of 1963 will also be joining us on the day for a very special reunion, as “the boys” were the leaders of the College in the Centenary year.  A number of our guests were members of the 2nd XV at the time and have asked, in particular, to meet up with their team counterparts after their game. The MOONS luncheon has been well subscribed and both recent and longstanding “mother” members will be here to catch up on family news since last year.

Community celebrations and anniversaries have been a long-standing tradition of Newington College. This year we look back, and using the Black and White Cookbook, our stallholders will recreate the recipes and traditions of Newington families passed from generation to generation.The kitchens have also been busy with Support Group and Association stallholders preparing international lunch menus, ‘Black and White Label’ home made jams, relishes and chutneys, and cakes, biscuits and sweet treats  – and our advice is to be early to collect these “sell out” items.

A huge number of Market Stalls are listed in the program to fill Centenary Hall Market Place including Delightfully Turkish, Bizzibeeds, Maya Neumann Hats, Passion for Pearls,  Flowers for Everyone and Aunty Ems Jewellery to name a few. An online Silent Auction will also be displayed on the screens in Centenary Hall for you to follow your bids throughout the day, with a closing time of 2:30 pm.

So join us with your whole family for our biggest home day celebration of the year.
