Matthew Hargreaves was elected President of the OHA for a two-year period in September 2011. He says: "The purpose of the OHA is to encourage social interaction amongst staff and pupils both past and present. We need to look to new forms of technology to support this interaction, whilst retaining our current methods of communication. The OHA will continue to support the school financially as well as offering its resources, including the experience and expertise of our members, for the benefit of pupils and the School."

Born in 1972, Matthew attended the William Hulme's from 1982 to 1990 (Dalton House), obtained a BSc in Rivers and Rocks at Sheffield University. Involved in student houses in Sheffield, he then drifted into property in Manchester. Matthew travelled the world and then lived in Manchester city centre for a decade. Mediocrity and under-achievement followed in the field of Exhibitions. Now out in Knutsford with Holly, his wife, and two children: Monty (two years) and Florence (two weeks). Happy. No dog, no God: would quite like a dog.

Keith Robson (OH) has developed a website at http://oldhulmeianswarmemorial.yolasite.com to commemorate those Old Hulmeians who were killed in World War I. Our thanks go to Keith, and we would invite Old Hulmeians to contact him if they have any further information which may be of relevance to this ongoing project.

Members will have recently received a copy of the annual newsletter in the post. We hope you found it both interesting and entertaining. Already we are looking ahead to next year's edition, and we would like to put out a request to ALL former pupils (and teachers or parents/relatives) to send us any content which you feel may be of interest. The newsletter is sent to to approximately 1000 Old Hulmeians from across every generation, including some who attended the school in the 1930s and others who left within the last couple of years. We would welcome content on any relevant subject in any format, long or short, fact or fiction. Short notes telling us your news are as welcome as longer historical pieces or funny memories. The editor can be contacted via oha@oldhulmeians.org.
