100th Annual Reunion

In 2019, the Association celebrated its 100th reunion. To mark this remarkable milestone, a historic cricket match was arranged between a March XI and the prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), held at March Town Cricket Club on Friday 28th June 2019.

The event paid tribute to the origins of the Association. In July 1919, a cricket match was organised between the March Grammar School Old Boys and the masters and boys of the school to raise funds for a memorial honouring former pupils and staff who had lost their lives in World War I. That match became the foundation of the March Grammar School Old Boys Association—known today as the Neale-Wade Association.

President George Lockwood and guest Stephen Barclay member of Parliament for North East Cambridgeshire spoke at the lunch for 100 guests.
