Home › Old Boys' Association

It`s difficult to think back to September 1967, when I walked down the drive at MTS to begin my teaching career, but I doubt if I had any plans beyond aiming to survive the first term. If I did, they certainly didn`t include becoming President of the Old Crosbeians forty and a bit years later.

 It`s a great honour and, though slightly nervous at the prospect of following in the footsteps of so many distinguished predecessors, I am looking forward to my year of office immensely. Thanks to the hard work of many old boys over the years, the Association is thriving and will, I am sure, continue to do so. The development of this website is just one thing which will enable it to meet the needs of its members more effectively. Apart from trying to build on what we have already, my particular hope is that being President will enable me to catch up with ex-pupils whom I haven`t seen for a while. So if any of you read this, and would like to say hello – or, alternatively, to get your own back after all these years – all you have to do is pick the most convenient event and sign up. Conviviality, genial company and the warm glow of nostalgia are guaranteed.
