Join us this Saturday for the Eton Action Fair. With over 100 stalls, games, rides, and performances, all in aid of this year's chosen charities! @EtonCollections will be there with some sporty crafts, so you can see 'Sport@Eton' in the Verey Gallery with your own gold medal! 🏅

Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate! Did you know one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence is an Old Etonian, Thomas Lynch. Below is his entry in the College Registers, and his signature from Declaration itself!
