A gratifying element of this particular function was the fact that it
brought together members of the community, past and present pupils of
the college, parents, teachers and many 'friends of Gonzaga'. The Benev-
olent Fund has now been launched and the contribution from piano
recital was approx. £2,500.
The various sporting events, though poorly attended in many cases,
were most enjoyable. Fr Barber and Tony Spollen met with Monsignor
Williams (now Bishop Williams) to discuss a possible role for the Union
in relation to the catholic social services congress and this is a matter
which the committee is currently discussing.
The Union donated £100 to a Milltown Park restoration project, £25
to the School Project and £25 to the Debater of the Year.
The Union A.G.M. was held in September 1985 and Dermot McCarron
was elected President and Cyril Forbes Vice President, David Alexander
was elected Treasurer and Charlie Meenan Secretary.
In this current union year, Dermot McCarron has organised meetings
which have been well attended. He is supported by a committee represent-
ing the earliest, middle and latest years in the school. The latest Union
dinner was held in March 1986 and was a tremendous success. The
attendance was in the region of 130. The function was once again held
in Gonzaga and the speeches were up to the usual high standard.
The President, Dermot McCarron, opened the speeches and was
followed by Bobby McDonagh and Fr Barber.
The rugby match was held on the previous Sunday and as always was
thoroughly enjoyed by both sides. The Union is grateful to Fr Lee for
including this little piece in the Gonzaga Record. We believe that just as
the Union is important in the lives of those who have been to the school
the Record is also important. We extend our best wishes for the on-going
success of both.
