Membership Information about Membership To reap the full benefits of membership of the Old Scholars' Association it is essential that we have your current contact details including Year Group. Please email these to oldscholars@friends.org.uk All former pupils of the senior school are now automatically members of the Old Scholars‘ Association. For details see the constitution below. However, if you are not receiving communications from us then do let us know as it probably means that we are not in possession of your current contact details. Recent changes to the organisation of the Old Scholars’ Association have resulted in even closer ties between the OSA and the school. The costs of running the Association have been taken over by the school. Hitherto, your subscription was used in two ways: to cover the costs of running the Association and to provide a regular donation to the School. We hope, however, that you will consider taking this opportunity to help the School even more by increasing the amount and/or the frequency of your donation and Gift Aiding it by converting it to a new Standing Order to the School. In this way the School will continue to reap the benefit of the vital support that Old Scholars like you provide to help future generations of young people to enjoy all the advantages of a Friends’ School education that you yourself received, for instance through the provision of bursaries. If you do not change your current subscription then it will continue to be used to support the OSA and the School although we will not be able to benefit from the extra gift aid. How will your regular donation be used? The School constantly has plans to update and improve its facilities and you can feel assured that money donated through the OSA will be very well spent in a variety of ways. You can, however, specify a particular use for the donation that you make if you have a particular area of interest. • The School is committed to widening its provision of bursaries so that the ability to pay is not a barrier for those parents who would like their children to attend Friends’ School but whose income is more modest. Why not specify ‘bursary fund’ as a named use for your ‘Gift Aided’ regular donation? • Were you a gifted musician? A talented sportsman or sportswoman? Theatrically inclined, taking part in school drama productions? A bookworm? The School has many ‘mini-projects’ that would benefit from your generosity. We assure you that every penny received will benefit Friends’ School pupils directly. In summary: All former pupils of the senior school are automatically members of the Old Scholars' Association, but it would help the School and OSA greatly if you felt able to make regular donations by standing order and gift aiding these to the school using the form below. Whether you make donations or not please ensure that we have your current contact details - email them to oldscholars@friends.org.uk Click here or on the image below to download the Donation/Standing Order Form Constitution and Rules of the Old Scholars' Association: Please click here to download the latest copy of our Constitution and Rules as adopted at the AGM on 13th November 2010.
