On Thursday 4th July, Taunton School and the Webber family are hosting an event to raise funds to remember Barney Webber (OT 2006-2022, Marshall).

Together with the Webber family, Emma, Dave and Charlie, the School will host an event that promises to be an uplifting and celebratory evening of food and entertainment that will raise money to create a permanent memorial to Barney’s life here at Taunton School. Our plans include the renaming and refurbishment of the school’s iconic Memorial Cricket Pavilion, which will become the ‘The Webber Pavilion’ in Barney’s honour. You can read more about this tribute and donate directly to the project via our JustGiving page here.

Emma and Dave Webber, Barney’s parents, said:
“It is a great honour to have the pavilion named after Barney. Barney spent 16 glorious years at Taunton School. From his first day in ‘First Steps One’ through to Year 13 in his beloved Marshall, he loved (almost) every single moment. There isn’t a part of Taunton School that doesn’t echo for us with memories of him, but the cricket pavilion was especially important.

 It’s where he enjoyed countless hours and we will always picture our beautiful son there. We are so proud of all that he achieved during his time and also for the legacy he leaves. The whole school community has become a huge source of support to us all, and in particular for his brother Charlie.

We cannot express in words the enormity of the grief we feel at the loss of Barney; but we are determined to let his light shine on”.

We would love to see you at the event on the 4th July. Tickets can be booked online here or if you can’t attend and would still like to support the Webber Pavilion project you can do that here.
