As if writing the yearly school magazine and designing/maintaining the ex-pupil website wasn’t enough, the attendees at today’s AGM have voted me in as the new chairman of The Old Croydonians’ Association – ‘ The OCA’. So that’s THREE jobs now!
On the plus-side, the role is a challenging and exciting one, and gives me the authority, through the committee, to determine the direction of the OCA and its 600 members.
On the downside, at the same time as my appointment, four of the existing committee stood-down! In fairness, I knew that was going to happen, but through the members’ eyes, the closeness of the two events might have appeared somewhat disconcerting. Some coincidence surely!!!
Anyway, there is heaps to do, as it’s our centenary next year – a celebratory meal to organise, an exhibition of school memorabilia – and of course, a leaner committee to lead for the next few years.

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
