Manchester A social get together was held in Manchester on Saturday 11th May and was well attended by the Headmaster, the Bursar, two school Governors and just under thirty Old St Beghians, consisting mostly of those who left the school from 1976 – 1984 and who are currently living all over the UK. The evening started at 5.00pm at All Bar One in the city centre. OSBs then moved on to have an excellent dinner in a private dining room in the Restaurant Bar and Grill on John Dalton Street, where a montage of photos of life at school had been put together with some flattering and not so flattering photos of some of the attendees included! The Headmaster and Matthew Rigby on behalf of the Governors gave short speeches on the current situation at the school and Mark Rocca thanked everyone for attending and especially the Headmaster for taking the time out of a busy schedule to join the company. As the evening progressed it was a bit of a shock to find it was 1.30am and time to move on from the restaurant. The final party, in a roundabout route, ended up at the bar in the Malmaison Hotel with John Boag and Torquil Macleod winning this year’s prize for the last men standing, sometime after 4.00am! A great evening was had by all and our thanks must go to Mark Rocca and John Boag for giving their time and effort to organise the event.
