Welcome to the Old Portmuthian Club. The OP Club's principal activity is facilitating contacts between former pupils of The Portsmouth Grammar School. The Club also publishes magazines and newsletters, organises social events in Portsmouth and elsewhere, and provides financial support to current and former pupils of PGS via the OP Charity.

The OP Club website has been designed in line with modern Internet technologies (XHTML, CSS, DOM) but your browser does not appear to properly support some of the required features.

So that you are not at a disadvantage, you will still see all of the information content but in a less organised form. However, you will have a better browsing experience if you upgrade to a modern browser.

September 2007 Newsletter

Hon. Sec. Administration

This is an appeal for help. Postings to the club members always result in a number of envelopes being returned by the GPO via the School as "undeliverable". My shorthand for these is DLO (Dead letter office) and as such they are recorded on the Club database. For each of these there are two negative aspects, one, we have wasted money, and secondly, we have lost contact with a member, the latter being the more important. Two responses needed on your part. If your address changes, do not forget to let me know, postal address or e-mail, they are equally important, and secondly, if you are able to send me information on any on this list, which would enable me to re-establish contact, I would be most grateful.

D J Aitken 82/92, S Anderson 92/94, J R Ayling 75/85, P Barber 60/70,

Mrs R L Broadbent (nee Leece) 82/84, N A S Cadnam 69/76, Mrs Christie-Verma 89/91, Ms L Crooks 91/93,

Ms A Crow 85/95, C Cubitt 87/94, T Cummings 95/02, R M Davidson 78/89,

Ms C E Deal 86/88, S R Duffield 82/92, C M Evans 56/65, S Foulger 90/97,

Mrs V Gisslegard (nee Power) 89/91, K L Gray 58/65, P R Hawkesworth 52/56.

More to come at a later date.


Important Reminder

The date of the Annual Dinner, the most important social event of the year, is Saturday 15 December.

Make sure it is in your diaries. The details will be sent to you mid November. Why not make contact with your OP friends and organise a table (flexible numbers, but six or eight are popular). Perfect mechanism for reminiscing and catching up on news. Guided tours of the new developments in the School will be available before the meal.

I look forward to seeing many of you there on the night.


Finally

News items for the next Old Portmuthian...please let us know what you have been up to. I am sure some of you must have married, started families, been promoted, left the country etc. etc. You will be surprised how many are interested in your activities. Deadline: 21 October.

Roger Harris.
Hon. Sec.
