The 99th Annual General Body Meeting and Reunion of the Old Bedeans Association (St. Bedes Anglo-Indian Hr. Sec. School, San Thome) was held on January 26.
Old Bedeans from across the world (Australia, New Zealand, USA, UAE, UK and Canada) are aware that January 26 is always the annual reunion, so a few ‘old boys’ time their trip to the city at this time of the year,
This year some 230 Old Bedeans attended the Reunion,
The senior-most batch that registered was from 1960 batch. The golden jubilarians were of the 1974 batch and the silver jubilarians were 1999 batch. A few from each of these batches were present.
Old Bedeans of batches1978, 1998 and 2023 were in appreciable numbers.
This year’s signature campaign was themed “Say No to Drugs” ; every Old Bedean who signed the campaign got a sticker that read “Proud to be a Bedean”
Retired and present-day teachers were also present.
