News from the CH Association Office October 22nd 2005
CHA Membership
Several people have asked, What constitutes a member of the CH Association? Life membership is automatic and free of charge. This applies whether you were here for 7days, 7 years or longer. The Association is open to all former Club members, all Old Blues, and all past and present Governors and staff.
‘Old Blue’ magazine
The deadline for our new twice yearly publication the ‘Old Blue’ magazine is fast approaching. It is going to be a new-look, vibrant magazine with improved publishing workflow and visual appeal – and it will be distributed free of charge to all Association members in January. If you have information that you would like considered, please contact John Hopgood the Editor, by 23rd November.
20 years on reunion
The next 20 years on reunion has now been put in the diary, Saturday May 20th. If you left Christ’s Hospital in the summer of 1986, we would love to hear from you, so please email or telephone the CH Association office.
As this was the first intake of girls at Horsham, it would be wonderful to celebrate this anniversary by seeing as many of you back at Housey, with your family. This would be great opportunity to catch up over lunch with lost friends, meet their new families and reminisce about life at CH 20 years ago. If you haven’t been back for some time, don’t miss out on this great opportunity.
