BGS Old Boys Association



CARMEN BURIENSE

"Sanctas clavis hic fores
Aperit", canamus;
Sanctitatis legibus
Semper hic vivamus,
Clavis detur pueris
Clavem laude meritis;
Fores pateant piis
Scholae Buriensis

Optimum nos plurimi
Semper aestimemus;
Magistri cum pueris
Semper hoc oremus
Vivat, crescat, floreat,
Suae voces audiat
Famae, vires augeat
Schola Buriensis

"Here the key opens Sacred doors", let us sing.
May we always live here by the sacred rules.
May the key be given to boys who deserve it;
May the doors of the School be open to those who are worthy of entering.

 May we always value most what is best;
Masters and boys, we should always pray for this:
May the School of Bury live, grow and flourish,
May it hear words spoken in its honour;
May it increase in strengh.

The Old Boys Association organises many activities including Football, Golf, Swimming, Hockey, Bridge and Table Tennis, together with an annual Founders' Day Dinner in May. Our aim is to keep people in touch with the School and with other members of the Association.

Membership is open to all leavers - regardless of when they have left the School - and costs £25.00 for a Life Membership. As a member you will receive an annual newsletter, invitations to all OBA events plus access to the schools' facilities.
