OG Newsletter

Greetings fellow Georgians
 
Welcome to the June issue of the OG Newsletter. First off thank you to all of you who took the time to give your feedback and suggestions to the new look Mail Out / Newsletter. It seems to have gone down well. Many wonderful requests and suggestions were made; some we have started looking into for the next issue. If you have not yet given your feedback, please feel free to share.
We always look forward to hearing what fellow Old Georgians would like to see more of and enjoy sharing their stories.
 
In this issue we look back at the noughties (0’s) over the years, some graduations at the end of 2019, messages to the Class of 2020 during this pandemic, the launch of The Book Room and many other wonder things to share.
 
Keep safe and #happy

The 0’s over the years
 
2020 marks some milestones for many OG classes, 2000 marks 20 years with 1980 marking 40 years and the class of 1950 marking 70 years and many in between.
 
Here we have pulled some group and class photos marking some of the 0 years. Just because we can’t physically be with one another to share a moment to remember our times together, maybe we could reach out to a fellow Georgian with whom we have lost contact. Read more
