St Beghians’ Day
Saturday, 15th September 2012
Service in the School Chapel including the unveiling of a plaque
in Memory of Bill Barker (G 78-83)
There will be the usual service in the School Chapel at 12.00pm on
St. Beghians’ Day. The service will be extended slightly to remember Bill Barker, a serving police officer, who died tragically whilst on duty during the floods in West Cumbria, which caused so much havoc.
Bill’s widow Hazel has kindly agreed to unveil a plaque in his memory and it is hoped as many OSBs as possible, particularly those who were at school at the same time as Bill, will be able to attend the service.
As a further dedication of the memorial to Bill, a tree will be planted on the Terrace after lunch at 2.30pm.
