MCOBA Newsletter
Issue 1 / January 2014

Founded in 1897, the success of
this Association and its survival,
bears testimony to the
commitment and dedication of
all scholars who were educated
at this great School and who have
had inculcated in them during
their time at School, a sense of
camaraderie and brotherhood.

A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT
Further to an Indaba that was held at the end of 2013 by
the Executive committee, we have re-arranged a few
items on our annual agenda. The Indaba was held to dissect our Association and ask ourselves; Who we are,
What we do, and What are we trying to achieve? We had
a very interesting day of debate and some hot discussion
around many items re Maritzburg College, and how we
as Old Boys can make a better contribution to the school
and our association.

We will sending out a more regular newsletter (monthly)
with recent news items, fixtures etc so that we are able to
keep you all up to date with what is happening. We
found that the old newsletter which we published twice a
year (and sometimes once only) was becoming costly
and outdated.
So brace yourselves for some regular updates which will
all be done electronically. The plan is that we want to try
and keep one month open to publish a very much more
comprehensive and newsy newsletter with the full year‟s
activities and photos like we have been doing up to now.
