On Monday 23 October, Rugby School students, teachers and alumni met on the banks of the Potomac River, near the Jefferson Memorial to complete a Global Pass for the bicentenary. The group consisted of Chair of the American Friends of Rugby School - David Harding (W 72-76), Board Member Rob Smart (W 65-68) and Rugbeians Tom Vacher (St 83-88) and Simon Glossop (SH 87-89) as well as 12 students currently studying A Level History and Politics. The students were accompanied by teachers Anna Griffiths and Paul Teeton as well as Director of the Rugbeian Community, Katy Steventon.

Meeting at 5pm, the group enjoyed pizzas and cokes in the unusually warm Washington sun and sharing chat about the school in the 60s, 70s and 80s where Rubert Brooke student, Grace, said "It was great to hear their stories about their time at the school and what they've done since."
