During the summer holidays, the Head, Sarah Capewell, travelled the 5,000 miles from Stockport to California. While she was there, Sarah met up with a number of Old Stops who are based stateside. 

Pictured are Richard Blackburn (OS 1985) and Phil Harper (OS 1965), who have both been based over in the USA for a number of years, but also hope to return to Stockport and re-visit the area in the future. We look forward to hosting our US alumni if they do make a trip across the pond!
