Croydon High School Old Girls' Association
If you went to the Senior School why not become an Old Croydonian and keep in touch with friends? All members receive the annual Old Croydonian newsletter. If you have any news for the next newsletter please email it now to the Secretary, Mary Knight (Hermes) 1963, knightmae@aol.com, she will be delighted to hear from you. Your news needs to be with Mary by February 1 2009 by the latest to be included in the next newsletter.
Come to the OC's annual summer lunch party and meet old friends and new. A three course meal with wine and coffee and a chance for lots of chat and gossip. How can you miss it? At our last lunch party the Old Croydonians met the new Headmistress, Mrs Braganza.
Our annual lunch and AGM will be held on Saturday June 6th 2009. Details and tickets will be available from April by e-mailing web@oldcroydonians.co.uk. All former pupils are invited, whether members of the Old Croydonians or not, and those who left in a year ending in a 9 are particularly encouraged to make it a year group reunion. We can promise you good food and wine along with plenty of time to meet friends, old and new, for a good gossip and catch up!
We now have our own website at www.oldcroydonians.co.uk; please visit us soon. Take a walk down memory lane in the photo gallery and if you have any photos from your school days that we don't have please help us fill in the gaps.
Our annual newsletter, "The Old Croydonian" has become a very expensive way of keeping in touch with our 1500+ members and we would appeal to all of you who can, to please send us your e-mail address so that you can read it online.
