Old Almondburians’ Society Calendar

Quiz Evening

The annual Old Almondburians’ Society Quiz will be held in the upstairs room at The Woolpack, Almondbury, on Wednesday, 13th May, at 7.00 p.m. for a 7.30 pm.prompt start.

We require eight teams of three or four members and their guests. It would be appreciated if teams could be entered in advance, although you are most welcome to turn up on the night and participate in what is always a very enjoyable evening. Quizmaster, as always, will be Keith Crawshaw.

Golf

The Gothard Cup competition will take place on Sunday, 5th July at Woodsome Hall from 3.00 pm. It will be followed by a meal and presentation of prizes. If you enjoy a game of golf and a chance to catch up with some old schoolmates, do come and join in. For further details, please contact Robin Merchant: robin.merchant@talktalk.net.

Annual Dinner

This year’s Annual Dinner is a very special one, since it marks the centenary of the founding of the Old Almondburians’ Society in its present form. The dinner will be held on Saturday, 21st November and full details, together with an application form for tickets, will appear in the next issue of the magazine.

It is always good to see members making a special effort to stage a re-union of their year at the dinner and such occasions are always enjoyable, so those with a special anniversary this year, members of the classes of 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 1995, 2000 or 2010 for example or, indeed, anyone else who takes a notion to do so, should consider starting to organise their class re-union earlier rather than later.

FOUNDERS’ DAY

The traditional Founders’ Day service will be held the day after the Annual Dinner, on Sunday 22nd November. Full details will be announced in a later magazine. There are also plans for a new Friday afternoon event (see page 15).
