St Beghians’ Day 2017

Saturday 23rd September

It was a pleasure to see the encouragingly large number of OSBs who attended the annual celebration, which will, all being well, be the last one to take place before the eagerly awaited reopening of the school.

The events of the morning followed the usual pattern of the Committee Meeting, then the Society’s AGM, which included our farewells to Dacre Watson as the retiring President. The Minutes of this latter meeting may be read elsewhere in the Bulletin.

Following the AGM, our new President, Peter Lever, hosted a drinks’ reception for members in order to launch The Edmund Grindal Society, The New School Foundation Appeal, which was followed by lunch in the Foundation Dining Room. In the afternoon, apart from general reminiscing, our new Headmaster, Jeremy Hallows, and Mark George (Chairman of the Board of St Bees School), hosted a question and answer session for OSBs in the Business Management Centre. Throughout the day there was a display of historic whole school photographs in the Management Centre and OSBs were able to supply many of the names we were missing for these school records.

The names of those members of the Society who signified their attendance in advance are listed on the next page along with others whom we know were present.
