What does the Association offer?
The
Association is essentially a central base for former pupils and staff of the
School, representing many eras, and residing in all four corners of the
globe. Those who join do so
primarily because they have an interest in the school, whatever area that
might be, and that common interest is something to which we can all relate.
Membership currently stands at around the 500 mark, and ages range
from age 18, to the mid 90's. Many
of our distinguished Old Boys are also members.
Various
functions are arranged throughout the year, including an Annual Reunion
dinner, an Autumn Social Lunch to which guests may be brought Remembrance
Day service, individual intake reunions and AGM.
In addition, we have a ‘300 Club’, which for an annual
subscription runs draws throughout the year.
Other functions, such as the 100th
Birthday celebrations are organised as well, in conjunction with the school.
Events are current;y running for the Centenary of the School with the
Association's own Centenary in 2012. There are
several associated organisations such as the Old Gaytonian Golfing Society
and Masonic Lodge. These activities are extremely sociable, and new members
are most welcome.
For those members further afield, an annual magazine is published in the Spring, with an annual newsletter appearing in the autumn. The former in particular contains news about former pupils and staff, upcoming events and projects, sub-sections and the current school, and letters and memories from members.
