From the President:

Since the last issue of the Bulletin it has been my pleasure to attend a most enjoyable dinner of the Cumbria Branch in Kendal. Thanks go to Darryl Davies for his work in making it possible.

Recently I received an email from an Old St.Beghian requesting details of his contemporaries and another from a family asking for information on their late father, who attended the school in the 1920s. In both instances I passed the requests on to Pam Rumney in the Society office in the sure belief that if the information was available it would be forwarded. This led me to reflect on how fortunate the Society is, because of the past generosity of Old St. Beghians, to be able to have secretarial assistance.

Over the last few months considerable work has been undertaken to bring up to date the interests for which the Society/Old St.Beghians are responsible. I refer particularly to the leases for the property on Lonsdale Terrace and the various trust funds. Acknowledgement and thanks for much of the work goes to Bill Gough, Anthony Fox and David Lord.

Returning to social activities, many of the 1960s era will remember the very successful event organised by Tony Cotes a number of years ago and will wish this year’s reunion on the 14th September equal success.

Anthony Wills,
President St. Beghian Society
