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.
