Yours,

Where can I find and print off a list of all the Holidays etc for the year beginning Aug 2007 ?
Dear Sir/Madam
As a MGS old boy (older than I care to remember), is there a place on the site where old codgers like me can catch up with other equally old codgers ? I was a Grammarian from summer ‘65 to summer ‘71.
Thought I might find info about the school day (start/finish times etc) along with any after-school activities. Is this on the site?
Can you tell me about any night classes you run? I am particularly interested in Art and Design and Spanish Highers.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the captain of Queen Margaret University’s Fencing Club and have recently hired your social space on Thursday evenings for the next six weeks. I am emailing to enquire whether or not you can give me directions to your campus from the university out at Newcraighall.
Also, would it be possible to store some of our equipment at your campus until further notice?
Please reply as soon as possible with any information.
Thank you very much,
Lucy Drysdale.
Dear Lucy,
Sorry but the school does not make decisions on any room hire at the weekends or in the evenings. You would need to chaise this up with the person that you made your original book with.
This website should help you find us:

You will find the school post code below.
Sorry I can’t be much more help.

Hello Folks,
My name is Lee Seymour though when I was at MGS briefly in 1992 I was called Lee Morgan. Just writing to see whether the school would like to have a copy of my book which comes out on 14th February 2008. It`s called “Hemiplegic Utopia, Manc Style. Living With Hemiplegia.” and deals with my life observations of society as a partially disabled person in the form of ten short stories. I`ve suffered from Hemiplegia ( a form of cerebal palsy that weakens one side of the body since birth which is sometimes compared to that as someone having a sroke.)
It`s available from either http://www.augurpress.com (the publishers in Roslin, Midlothian) or to pre-order at http://www.amazon.co.uk and is priced £6.99.
Wondered could you let some of my old teachers if they`re still there know of my success. Mrs Hickie, Mr Robertson, Mr McKeesick, Mrs Forde and Mrs Stewart are those that I can remember off the top of my head.
Hello
Can you please email me the holiday list for 2007 - 2008. I can never find these details on the web. Can you please make this easy for parents. please
Question: how can a pupil/parent put money on smart card online?

Roll of thunder hear my cry
Introduction
The book I am going to write about is called roll of thunder hear my cry.
The author of this book is called Mildred. D Taylor. I am going to write about Stacey as she is the character I admire the most.
Stacey is a complex character and has many different personalities.
The story is set in Missisipi in the 1930’s, it was a hard and difficult place to grow up for black children. Cassie finds it very difficult o understand why the farm means so much to her dad, but then she begins to reach a painful understanding when she witnesses the hatred and destruction around her and learns when it is important to fight for principle, even if she brings terrible hardships.
Stacey has got many different attitudes towards a lot of different things. He can be very moody at times but can be a very generous person also; He always interferes and sometimes likes to be the centre of attention. Although he’s quite a moody character he can be very helpful and fun too.
I admire Stacey’s personality he’s a very strong person and will fight for what he believes in. He wont let anyone boss him around or anyone tell him he’s wrong without an argument even if he is because he likes to torment people and wind them up a little. One thing he did was “ refused to apologise to Lillian Jean while forced to.”

on the home page you could hve links to websites such as young scot etc. thanks
Hi Sam, This is a great idea - thanks very much. If you have any more ideas, let me know. Mr Bray
well one other idea i thought of was to have a anonomus worries section so that if a person had any worries they could tell guidance and they do not have to talk one to one if they are shy.
@Sam
That’s the YoungScot link added, thanks for the idea.
Could you please e mail me the 2008 school holidays? I cant seem to find them on the site. Thanks.
Hi

Can we get onto the school email sytstem from this site? I might be being really dim but i cant find it :S
thanks
Hello
Is there a Former Pupils’ area on this site which I may use ? I was at the Grammar 1965-1971 (starting with Big Tam Henderson as HM and ending with Doctor Cormack) in forms 1B1, 2B1, 3B1, 4A, 5 and 6. In fact, the present school badge was adopted during my time there !
So many stories to swop !
Appreciate a reply !

Hello again
Thanks to Messrs Ferguson and Thomson, teachers of History at MGS (1965-71), I have maintained a never-ending interest in history and historical research as a hobby ! I would really welcome an e-mail address for MGS as I am currently interested in lesser-well known historical events with a Musselburgh connection. Currently, I am interested in Musselburgh’s involvement in Britain’s worst ever rail crash, the Gretna Disaster of 22nd May 1915, in which 227 persons died and a further 246 were injured. Virtually all those killed and injured were volunteer soldiers of the 1/7th Batt Royal Scots, the local battalion for Leith, East Edinburgh and Musselburgh, who were on a troop train en route for Liverpool Docks - destination Gallipoli. Of those casualties in the crash, 26 Musselburgh men died and a further 44 were injured. I have the list of Musselburgh men.
I was wondering if MGS has ever done research on Musselburgh’s loss in this disaster, or intends to. If my contribution or initial ideas would be of help, I would be pleased to assist in any way.
Regards to all
Lachlan Gow
Mr Gow
Apologies - this isn’t a section of the site I am in frequently enough. Most emails concerning the school come straight to me as Head. I hadn’t heard of this event at all - to my shame as a History graduate. The History timetable is very crowded but it might be an interesting insert. I’ll talk to the PT History Alison Chisholm. Have you spoken to the Old Musselburgh Club about this?

Dear Sir / Madam
Intoursport World Travel is a long-established sports tour organiser - established after the MD Mike Williams organised the first ever UK club side to tour Australia - Sevenoaks School in 1976.
I was a player on that tour and now I have the pleasure of organising school and club tours all over the world, giving other young men and women the opportunity to enjoy wonderful experiences.
It is with this in mind that I am contacting you in the hope that you may be able to assist with a Canadian rugby team touring the UK this Summer.
The team is an U17 rugby team, and will be in Edinburgh in July - they are looking for a fixture on Tuesday 15th July 2008.
They are also keen to have the players billeted - they are approximately 20 in number - if this is something that you could arrange for the nights of the 14th and 15th July.
Please do let me know if you have an interest in hosting this tour party - I can then provide you with more detail.
In the meantime, I thank you for your consideration, and look forward to hearing from you in due course.
With kind regards

what is the schools 5 digit UCAS number?
Hello
Could I be sent an email contact for someone from the Technical Department? They know me from my visit to MGS in June 2007.
Thanks
more sttention should be paid to the replying to the questions put up
disappointed not to see anything about the S2 boys football team winning the league - thought it deserved a mention and a photo?
My name is Robert Bryce and although i was not at the school, a very good friend of mine, Lachlan Gow attended from 1965 to 1971. He has posted a few articles on this site and I would very much like to get in touch with him. I am having a 50th Birthday Party on the 1 August and it would be brilliant to see him there. If I could get his email address or if this message could be past on, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you
What happened to the magnificant podcasts (http://
mgsonline.blogs.com) the United Kingdom’s first
