SOCIETY OF OLD EXMOTHIANS

 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

 

The Annual General Meeting was held at the School on 7th October last. About 25 members attended.

 

In her report, the Secretary stated that the Christmas Reunion held on December 28th had not been quite so well patronised as in previous years, but the 90 odd Old Students present enjoyed an evening of dancing to the music of Ernie Payne and his Band.

 

The Second Annual Dinner of the Society was held at The Maer Bay Hotel on Saturday, 30th March, and once again this proved to be a highly successful social occasion.

 

The Badminton Club continued to meet during the winter months.

 

The report of the Cricket Club was also read.

 

The date of the 1957 Christmas Reunion was fixed for December 28th. It was agreed to try and engage Ernie Payne and his band again for this function.

 

The Chairman reported that the new system started last year to make the School Magazine available to Old Students for a payment of 5/- a year had proved very popular and magazines were now being sent to Old Students in many parts of the world.

 

The award of the Old Students Prize was renewed for the year 1957/8.
