Following the recent Annual General Meeting and election of officers of the St Mary’s College Past Students’ Union, John Allum has been retained as President of the organisation for a second year.

However, there is a new Honorary Secretary in the person of Derren Joseph, who previously served as Assistant Secretary. All three Vice-Presidents were returned to office. They are: Richard Joseph (Student and School Affairs), Mark Bishop (Membership) and Roberto Ramirez (Fund-Raising). Richard Jones continues to serve as the Honorary Treasurer and Nestor Lambert is once more the Communications Officer. Allum commented that some new members were elected to the 14-man Management Committee of the Union, thus allowing for a good blend of youth and experience to serve the members for the period July 2009 to June 2010.

Soon after the Annual General Meeting, the management committee held its annual strategic Planning exercise at which it developed plans for the next three years.

The union is now coming to the end of a year of celebrations that were held to mark its 75th anniversary.
