Description

Dear all,

I just wanted to send a quick email to say a huge thank you for joining us for the 10th Classic Car Show at Pangbourne last Saturday.

The day was a fantastic success and once again had a lovely atmosphere to it and you all as exhibitors really do make the day. Both the Roy Bailey Big Band and the Pangbourne Silver Band were fantastic as always. Sporting Bears, who you may have seen on the BBC One Show last night, doubled the number of dream rides they took and also doubled the amount of money they raised for Footsteps.

This year we have raised a record amount for Footsteps £16,500 which is simply amazing and will enable them to support a number of Children over the next year with this.

I am hoping to receive photos from our professional photographer and hope to post these online in the next week and will share a link to these with you in the next week or so.

We will not be having a show next year I am afraid, however, we will return on 3rd June 2028 for the 11th Classic Car Show at the College, entries for this will open in September 2027 so please do add this date to your Diary.

Many thanks for all of your support and I look forward to hopefully seeing you in 2028.

Kind regards

Tom

Sporting Bears will also be at the show again this year to offer passenger rides in stunning classic cars. This will be a truly unique experience and for a minimum donation (which will be for the Footsteps Foundation) the Sporting Bears will take you on a short passenger ride in the car of your dreams!

Description

Set in 230 acres of Berkshire countryside, to the West of Reading, just minutes from the M4, the College provides a superb quality of life in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Pangbourne College was founded by Sir Thomas Lane Devitt in 1917 as The Nautical College, Pangbourne. The original vision for the College was to prepare boys to be officers in the Merchant Navy. With the First World War raging, Cadets (students at the College) were gazetted as Royal Naval Reserves and wore the uniform of the RNR Officer Cadets. Whilst most went on to join the Merchant Navy, the College was also a training ground for many Royal Navy officers. In 1969, with the merchant fleet shrinking rapidly and many boys by then choosing university as a first step beyond school, it shed much of the nautical training in favour of a more traditional academic focus. At this point the College was re-established as a Charity, like many other independent schools, and was renamed Pangbourne College.

Elements of Pangbourne’s naval heritage still exist today with students wearing Royal Naval uniforms and certain ceremonial traditions, which add colour to the Pangbourne experience, are maintained. Only two or three students leave the College with the intention of a career in the Armed Forces each year, and almost all go to university as their first destination.

Girls were first admitted to the College in 1990 and Pangbourne has been fully co-educational since 1996.

In 2000, HM The Queen Elizabeth II opened the Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel – the national memorial to the Falklands War built to commemorate all those who died during the 1982 conflict.
