REUNION OF MBC CAPTAINS AND PRESIDENTS
News about Regulatory Changes DATA PROTECTION
All Captains and Presidents since 1950 were contacted and invited to an MBC Reunion last November. Forty-seven were able to attend and a very convivial evening was spent exchanging happy reminiscences. MBC is indebted to the Nationwide Building Society who generously hosted the evening at their main London office.
THE MALLORY CLUB The Friends of MBC have metamorphosed into the Mallory Club. The core aim remains to give financial and other support to MBC but with a developing interactive social network of alumni who want present and future Members of Magdalene to benefit from every opportunity the Boat Club has to offer. Alumni have already begun racing under the Mallory Club name and colours; indeed they were class winners first time out in a coxed IV in the Fairbairn races in December 2017. The Mallory Club invites alumni to the Mays Marquee on the Long Reach on the afternoon of Saturday 16th June and also to apply for places at the Mays Boat Club Dinner on the same evening. Reunion crews are particularly encouraged.
Members may be aware that the law relating to Data Protection has changed: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force this month. Together with the other Colleges, Magdalene has been working closely with the University of Cambridge to ensure that we comply fully with the new law. Part of this process has been to update our Data Protection Statement (available online at www.magd.cam.ac.uk/ alumni-data-protection), which transparently explains how we look after your data and the legal basis upon which we do so.
FUNDRAISING REGULATOR
For more information please visit the Magdalene Boat Club website www.magdaleneboatclub.co.uk or write to info@malloryclub.com. Friends of MBC who have not received details of the Mallory Club are particularly requested to make contact.
The College has also recently registered with the Fundraising Regulator, a new independent body which sets standards for charitable fundraising. As part of this process we have published a ‘Fundraising Promise’ online at www.magd.cam. ac.uk/fundraising-promise, although it should be noted that Magdalene has held itself to these standards for years.
