Old Ignatians' Union The Older Ignatians’ Club Judging by the enthusiastic reception from our over 70 year old Old Boys, our Older Ignatians’ Club has certainly struck a chord with our pre-1964 members. surprisingly) we have had an abundance of volunteers willing to visit these Old Boys, who have invariably been extremely well served and appreciative. Since the Club’s inception in 2015, we have held several functions, each of which has resulted in remarkable periods of renewed acquaintances and camaraderie. We have also launched our own Facebook page with great success (facebook.com/ groups/OlderIgnatiansClub). Apart from the usual advantages of having our own private means of communication, the incredible wealth of College and Old Boy history and photo records that are available every week, and sometimes every day, make for imperative regular reading. Prime among the Club’s objectives is to provide visitations and comfort to any old members who may have become isolated by way of illness or a lack of family support. Surprisingly, (or perhaps not so As each year passes and we continue to add another year of eligible Old Boys, we anticipate that our membership will automatically grow. We must all be conscious and aware to advise the Committee of any of our old colleagues who would benefit from our efforts. If you would like to join us on the Committee, you would be welcomed with open arms.
