| USA -  New York The first official OSB get together in the USA took place  on Saturday 9th September 2017 and was held at Slattery's Midtown  Pub, 8 East 36th Street in New York. The interest and excitement had been  building up prior to the event on the ‘St. Beghians of USA’ Facebook page.  Becky Hobbs (L 87-92), along with assistance from David Boucher (SH 54-59) and  Kirsty Louis (G 82-89), coordinated the excellent evening which was well  attended and only slightly marred by the approaching Hurricane Irma, which  meant that a few OSBs were unable to attend at the very last minute. The OSB President  at the time, Dacre Watson, flew out especially for the dinner and was able to  give first hand news about progress with regard to the reopening of the school. It was a very enjoyable evening and there was much talk  about a repeat event sometime in the near future. Do let Becky know if you are  interested in a get-together in 2018 and also remember to sign up to the USA  Facebook page, if possible.   |
