Calling Carmarthen Old Boys members

by Robert Lloyd

Calling all members of the Old Maridunians Association, the organisation for old boys of the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School for Boys in Carmarthen!

It has been decided this year to move the annual dinner from a Friday evening to a late Saturday afternoon and also to use a different venue.

This will hopefully “freshen” things up while also making it easier for Old Boys living away to be able to attend. It will allow more time to socialise and reminisce with old friends.

This year’s annual dinner is to be held at the lvy Bush Hotel, Carmarthen on Saturday 13 October 2012, 4.00pm for 5.00pm; dress: lounge suit or blazer.

The dinner is open to all former pupils and staff.

lf you know of anyone who has not had an invitation, please pass on this news.

This year’s guest speaker will be Andy Edwards, who attended the “Gram” from

1972 to 1978 (when the school ceased to be).

Andy trained and qualified as a teacher and started his career in London in the 1980s where, incidentally, he turned out for London Welsh.

Andy is now a director of Morfa Bay Adventure Activity Centre in Pendine and is a keen cyclist, often cycling for charity.

The reunions continue to be well supported and the association officers hope you will be able to attend what is always a convivial atmosphere to meet up with school contemporaries.

Please reply by completing the attached slip and forwarding with your cheque for £18.50 (payable to OMA) by Friday 22 September.
