Lovely birthday party for @MGSMagic tonight. 500 years, blimey. A Manchester legend.
@MGSMagic
Ed Gregory (79-81): Great talk with @TheoPaphitis thanks to @MGSMagic last night. What an extraordinary life story (and even better he’s a secret United fan!) It’s been a while @MGSMagic! 1981 to be precise. Nice to be back.
We have had a great deal of online correspondence from OMs in response to our tweets from the MGS Twitter account – @MGSMagic. The Right Reverend David Walker (67-75): My old school @MGSMagic began 500th anniversary celebrations tonight. Founded for “godliness and good learning” and to educate poor boys.
Rev Dr John Gillibrand (71-79): @MGSMagic Many thanks for the lovely welcome and tour of my old school yesterday – back after all these years.
