Serving The Alumni And The Community.
Welcome to the Old Boys Association
Christmas Greetings
Felicem Nativitatem Domini
- Christmas is the main occasion when families get together and reminisce about the last year.
- Church services followed by the roast lunch and plum pudding have changed in keeping with community expectations.
- But family underpins all activities, and most will gather at some time in the days around Christ’s birthday.
- In the past twelve months we have had reports of the death of twelve Old Boys and a number of their family members.
- When you gather with your family give a thought to those who have a vacant chair at the table. This can apply to those you know or other bereaved families.
We extend to all members and their families sincere fond regards and wish you a Happy and Holy Christmas and a comfortable New Year

Requiem for Deceased Old Boys
The Annual Requiem for Deceased Old Boys is no longer organised, so your personal remembrance is suggested.
At the reunion the details of our six members whose death had been reported since the 2023 meeting were advised to the assembly.
They are included in the ever growing list on our Honour Roll.
But it is very much incomplete. Any information at all about an Old Boy who has died is requested.
