Old St Beghians in Asia
         
        As you may have read in the President’s letter to Society  members, an inaugural OSB Dinner took place in Hong Kong in January, organised  by James Rebert (SH 91-98). Despite a modest turnout it was a  very enjoyable event and an opportunity for a group of Old St Beghians  based in Asia to share memories and reminisce. 
          
        On the back of this event, James Rebert, who organised the  dinner, Laurence Gribble (SH 02-09) and Chris Ma (G 02-09) would  like formally to establish a group for Old St Beghians based in the Asia  region under the name, 
        “Old St Beghians in Asia”. As well as organising an annual  dinner in Hong Kong, we hope such a group can connect OSBs in Asia and reconnect those who may have lost contact since leaving  St Bees.        
        We believe the group can provide a strong network for those  who are currently studying and working in the region, and in the long term, we  think the group could be very beneficial for whatever the future may hold for  St Bees School.        
        Asia, especially Hong Kong and China, has played a vital  role in the school. Many past students came from Asia and many others now work  and live there. We would like to invite all Old St Beghians based in Asia, and  even those in other parts of the world, to get in touch to help us  build this group’s members.        
        We aim to hold an annual dinner in January 2017 in Hong  Kong, 
        to which all Old St Beghians, plus partners and family, will  be most welcome.        
        
        Please do get in touch.
