the mastermind behind President’s Day. He will be standing
down in the next year. We owe a great debt of gratitude to
Geraint. Apart from editing an excellent magazine he is our
roving ambassador and even if you live in the outer hebrides you
will not escape a visit. It is so good that there is someone who is
able to keep in touch with our members who may no longer
enjoy the best of health. Tim is a longstanding committee
member and very much the technical brains behind the
presentation of our magazine making sure that we have a quality
production. He will be our new secretary. Alan has been
organising our wonderful lunches for the last 20 years, they have
provided the opportunity to keep in touch and make new friends.
Please come and receive your awards.
Guest speaker, Rt. Rev. Stephen Platten.
Clearly there are others who, over the years have made a
significant contribution to the life of the association but are no
longer with us.One of those was Peter Bullen who sadly died last
year. Peter was the architect who brought together the Old Boys
Association and the sports clubs to create the association as we
know it today. He would certainly have qualified for an award of
outstanding service to the association.
We are very grateful for the continued support of the Stationers’
company. It is a privilege to be able to dine in this magnificant
hall. We are very appreciative Master of your kind invitation to
our members to become freemen. This will only serve to further
strengthen the close relationship between the company and the
association. It has been the drive and commitment of the
Tony, Gordon, Geraint and Tim, recipients of the OSA long service award.
