The Cryptian 2020-2021 - Presidential Reflections
PART 1
Presidential Reflections It is a huge pleasure to take on the role of President of the Old Cryptians ’ club for 2021-22 and write to you in The Cryptian - a publication I first wrote for as a student back in the 1980s! We ’ ve been through a difficult 18 months and all faced different challenges. I have high respect for the students who have had their education disrupted due to lockdowns and to the teachers at the school who have adapted so quickly to keep learning going. As for the Old Cryptians ’ Club, my predecessor, Adam Ashby, took on an extra year as President and had been brilliant guiding it through the pandemic and keeping the committee meetings and business, as far as we could, going. We ’ re at a point now where we need to think about the future direction of the club and how it can become more relevant to former students and to the school. Any ideas will be gratefully received as we plan to build on our long history and keep the club thriving well into the future. As we start to get our freedoms back we can look to the club blossoming again and, with fingers crossed, to getting together again at the annual dinner in March 2022. Social occasions like that are extremely important for the club to rekindle old friendships and make new ones. More details as soon as we have them.

Finally, my thanks go to everyone at the school involved in putting The Cryptian together again. It’ s no mean feat is testament to everyone ’ s enthusiasm for the school. I look forward to being at many of the events over the next year when we can all gather in person again and celebrate everything The Crypt has to offer.
