At Warminster School, we are incredibly fortunate to have OVs who continue to give back. Today, we celebrate Stuart D'Souza (OV 99), a dedicated OV whose generosity ensures the ongoing success of the OV Golf Day year after year.
Despite living in Saudi Arabia, Stuart remains deeply connected to the Warminster community. Not only does he sponsor the OV Golf Day, but he also actively supports OVs in the region, always offering a warm welcome and a strong network for those living locally. His commitment to Warminster and its alumni is remarkable, helping to bring OVs together, no matter where they are in the world.
Thanks to Stuart’s incredible generosity and annual donation, OVs can enjoy a full 18 holes of golf, a two-course dinner, and are gifted OV branded golf kit on their first time attending—all for just £30 each. Additionally, any extra funds raised go towards purchasing golf equipment for the school, ensuring that current pupils can benefit for years to come. See last years highlight here- OV Golf Day 2024.
Reflecting on the event, Stuart shared:
"The OV Golf Day is such a great event, and I’m delighted to be involved. It brings together OVs, current pupils, and teachers past and present for a day of fun and frustration on the golf course! For me, it is not only an opportunity to catch up with old schoolmates but also to meet other OVs. It is always fascinating to see the varied journeys people have taken since their days at Warminster. I would certainly encourage all OVs to support events where they can, either by attending or sponsoring, and help to grow the network."
Laura Gibson, Head of Development and Alumni Relations, added:
"The Golf Day is going from strength to strength. It is a real highlight of the calendar and attracts OVs from right across the years. From talented golfers to beginners and those who just like to give it a go, the Stableford format makes it accessible to everyone. Stuart’s generosity in supporting the OV community and our current pupils is outstanding, and we are so grateful for his continued support."
We’re delighted to announce that the 2025 OV Golf Day will take place on Saturday, 6th September at Cumberwell Park Golf Course, just outside Bradford-on-Avon. This much-loved event offers a fantastic day of golf, friendly competition, and the chance to reconnect with fellow OVs. Find out more here
A huge thank you to Stuart for his ongoing generosity—his support not only brings OVs together but also provides support for pupils too.
