Yorkshire
        An excellent lunch was had at the Old Deanery, Ripon,  with a good turnout of OSBs and wives.
        We started with all present standing and in chorus gave a  rousing rendition of the school grace, a copy being provided for those not  remembering. As an innovation we had, through the lunch, a quiz comprising  questions about the school. Following the toast to the school, the President,  Peter Lever, gave an update of the present situation and aspirations of St Bees  School for the future. There followed a discussion about the way forward and  reminiscences of the past.
        Those Present: Peter Lever (G 62-65) (President of the St  Beghian Society) and Jane Lever, Steve Crossley-Smith (SH 47-52) (Yorkshire  Branch Secretary) and Pat Crossley-Smith, Johnnie Johnson (FS 46-50), Ian  Crawford (FS 51-55) and 
          Hilary Crawford, Michael Binns (FS 52-56), George  Robson (FN 57-64), Bill Dove (FN 57-60), Nick Curry (SH 60-65) and Viv  Curry, Carter Croft (FN 60-65), John Goss (F 60-65), Tim Crossley-Smith (SH  73-78), Jordan Madrick (SH 96-03),
