Message from the President
Mike Purse, President 2009-10
I am conscious that it is a very considerable honour to be elected as your President for the year. I do hope that I discharge my duty in a fitting manner and that you, my fellow graduates of a fine School, will support me in as many events as possible. I am looking forward to meeting Old Crosbeians in all parts of the country.
As the School moves towards its 400th anniversary it is in excellent form and continues to produce high quality young men well prepared to take their place in the community. For myself I am often reminded, even more than 50 years later, of the high standard of education I was given at Crosby!
May I remind you of the real pleasure of joining in the various events which take place every year. In particular the Annual Golf Tournament in June, and the various other sporting battles with our successors. In addition the burgeoning friendships with OMT and Old Wulfrunians add a new dimension to the life of the Association.
I hope to meet as many of you as possible at the area gatherings, details of which are regularly updated on the website, and at Crosby next February. I think it is particularly worthwhile attending the Annual Dinner – the more so the longer it is since you last visited the School.
Having recently attended Speech Day (for the first time for 52 years) I can report on the superb quality of the present pupils at every level. May I commend to all of you the value to the School of the ongoing support of Old Crosbeians in any and every field.
Mike Purse
