Auckland Marathon

ran in the Auckland
Marathon in New

And Finally
It is with sadness that The Old Rosehillians Society voted unanimously at the last AGM that
whilst there is merit in maintaining links between Old Rosehillians all over the world via
social media & email, the financial aspect of the Society has really run its course.
In the circumstances, we propose using residual funds towards a Summer Ball in 2015 with
any closing balance being donated to local, national or international causes.
If you are interested in attending such an event as a final hurrah to Rose Hill School,
Alderley then let us know as we are keen to assess how many would be likely to come.
The main cost of such an event would be the venue unless we can identify somewhere
(local to Rose Hill if possible) willing & able to accommodate up to 200 for a nominal fee.
If you have any ideas or would like to be involved in the planning of such an event,
please do contact me on 0780 130 4323
Jo Barry, Chair
