THE RED ROSE


The first edition of the Red Rose Magazine appeared in 1921, written by senior boys at 'The Woodlands'.
For most of its existence, the Red Rose has been produced at the School or the College, and only in recent years has it become the magazine of the Old Georgians.
The 2001 edition, which is now available from the Editor and from Broadhurst's Book Shop Southport, covers a wide range of items, including news of Old Georgians, Obituaries, events from 10, 25 and 50 years ago, items of memorabilia , correspondence, College matters, and details of the Annual Dinner, as well as a Calendar of events for 2000 - 2001.
It may also be downloaded from the College in Adobe Acrobat format. (For further details click here. )
All past issues of the magazine are kept in King George V College Library and are available for reading there. In addition, there is a commemorative book, published in 1970, marking the Golden Jubilee of King George V School.
The Red Rose relies heavily upon contributions from Old Georgians, who are encouraged to send in their news to:
