As if the idea that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" needed any further evidence, I agreed, after a rather well prepared roast beef dinner at North Foreland Golf Club, to take the mantle of the
Honorary Secretary of the Old Ruymian Club in partnership with
Tony Taylor the Treasurer and
Tony Carpenter the Chairman. I have been assured that this role will take "almost no effort at all". My first action was to claim the URL
www.oldruymians.co.uk and to link it, atleast temporarily to this blog. There is a social event planned for Saturday 21st November in the evening at the Sir Stanley Gray Pub in Pegwell. The next OR Dinner will be held on Saturday July 3rd 2010 (first Saturday in July). I believe the subscription for the ORs is £10 per annum; please contact
Tony Taylor if you would like to make this modest annual contribution. You can link up to the
Friends Reunited Old Ruymians group by clicking on this link; this is probably the best place to make any comments or make pleas for long lost friends to contact you. Go to the "Old Boys" section of the
Chatham House School Web Site to put your details into the OR database.
