Dear
Friends,
Almost
another year will have passed when we
meet once again, in a few weeks time, to
enjoy our Reunion Lunch at the Golf Club,
and share a few hours amongst good
friends, for a period of nostalgia.
Ken Ball
hosted the June meeting, 33 members
attended and 1 guest. We welcomed the
guest Mr. Norman Hodson who attended PG S
during 1943-1948. He came as a guest of
Dick Le Fleming and has now decided to
become a member of our club.
The bottle
of wine for the first reply was won by
Eric Finney who travelled that morning up
from West Sussex.
Alan
Richardson reported on his research into
the archives of the Prescot Grammar
School and read interesting articles from
the many items he had copied whilst on
his visits. Alan has invited Trevor
Powell to the Autumn meeting so we can be
informed of the present position
regarding the plaque on the site of the
old School which we agreed at our meeting
last September should be in Church
StreetTrevor may also outline his
involvement in the Prescot Grammar School
Old Boys Website.
On a sad
note we were informed that Arthur Jackson
had passed away in June, and
"Pat" Bailie has also died at
the beginning of August.
Members of
the PGSOB Luncheon Club "owe quite a
lot" to Pat Bailie because the
initial concept of holding reunion
meetings was proposed by him, and it was
entirely through his effort and a small
sum donated from his old boys'magazine
account "The Old Prescotian",
that The Old Prescotians' Luncheon Club
was established becoming "Prescot
Grammar School Old Boys Luncheon
Club". Pat Bailie's Funeral is on
Wednrsday, 22nd August at St
Michael'sChurch, Aughton at 2pm.
