Welcome to our website!

We want to hear your stories - let the memorabilia and stories of yesteryear keep rolling in – let us never forget Spider Beck’s Friday Tests, the skull over Killer Howard’s room; and how did Clank get his nickname?

Let us know your achievements – our edukashun wasn’t all that bad!!

Where are you now? Let’s get that “Corner of the Globe” feeling.

Your committee will do its best. There are plans to display all those sporting photographs in the corridors (so unique to Harvey) onto this site. Let us give our newsletter editor the job of editing because of too much information!

It is the most important feature of our famous Association to develop contact between us through this site, Newsletters, the Annual Dinner, outings and regular sporting events with the School.

We are also involved in supporting the school and to advance the development of Harvey pupils. Our achievements here, particularly under our past President John Smith’s drive have been considerable. The Leslie Ames Pavilion and the publication of Part II of the School History to name just two.

Let us have your ideas for future projects and encourage others to join. Onwards and upwards to a membership of 1,500 – let’s give Phil Harding all the headaches!!

Above all, enjoy the fellowship all this produces.

You can e-mail us at feedback@oldharveians.org.uk or leave a comment on one of the articles.

I would like to tell you a little about the Objects of our Association, which are twofold.

Firstly, we seek to foster and develop contact between old boys, staff and others associated with the school; and this we do through our Newsletters, the Annual Dinner, regular sporting exchanges with the School and of course, through this Website.

Secondly, we engage in activities which support the School and advance the education of all HGS pupils. To that end, over the last few years we have funded a School minibus; major repair work on the School clock tower; design and construction of the Les Ames Memorial Pavilion; a memorial to those pupils who fell in the Great War; and our current project, production of The School History from 1962 to 2000.

We still have a long way to go, so let us have your ideas for future projects and fund raising and please do all you can to recruit new members and generally spread the word about our Association.

Finally, thank you for your continuing interest and support which, I assure you, is much appreciated.
