The Association is very sorry to have to report the that the President of the Old Pharosians, Sir William Fittall, died on 10 March 2022 after a short illness.
Having attended the school as a pupil from 1964-72, William was a very active member of the Association in later years. He served twice as President of the OPA, from 1991-1992 and again from 2017 until the present.
In the most recent period he had been instrumental in moving the Association forward by changing from a subscription based membership system to one based on donations and in revising the Constitution of the Association in line with best practice of the Charity Commission.
He will be sorely missed by all those former pupils of DGSB and members of staff who knew him.
The Committee of the Association will meet in due course to appoint a successor.
