St Beghians’ Day 2020

 

Cancellation of OSB Day/AGM 2020

 

Unfortunately, Government restrictions because of the Covid-19 Virus mean that we will not be able to organise an OSB Day at school in September this year. Regrettably, therefore, we have decided that OSB Day on 19th September will have to be cancelled. We are sure you will agree that the safety of OSBs and the school community is of paramount importance at this time and are confident that you will understand our decision.

A consequence of this will be that the AGM of the Society, which usually takes place on that day, will not now take place. The main items of the agenda would have been a report on the Society’s financial situation and the election of officials. The former of these has been covered in the statement regarding the Society’s future written by the President and can be found in the present issue of the Bulletin.

In the current circumstances your Committee unanimously recommends that the election of the new President, Mr Howard Graham (FS 80-87), and the re-election of the officials, as shown below, should be approved without a formal vote by members. Unless we hear from you to the contrary, we will assume that you agree with this arrangement.        

However, if any member of the Society has any objections to the election/re-election of any of the officers named below, please contact the Secretary on osb@stbeesschool.co.uk or (01946) 828093 or write to:
The St Beghian Society, St Bees School, Wood Lane, St Bees, Cumbria, CA27 0DS.

Howard Graham (FS 80-87)

Committee

Sara Calvin, Alastair Lord, Anthony Wills and Anthony Fox

Treasurer

Golfing Secretary

Additionally, we do currently have vacancies on the Committee and would be interested in hearing from any OSB who wishes to become involved. Please contact the Secretary, as above.

However, if at some stage before Christmas we feel that the Covid-19 situation has improved and that Government restrictions allow for a gathering to take place, we will endeavour to organise some kind of appropriate OSB event. We will provide information and updates about such an occasion on the Society website and electronically, via email, to OSBs. Please let us have your email address for mailings such as this, if you have not done so already.
