Publications and Alumni Activities
For the Boys' school, "The Clavian" is the school magazine, edited by David Benger, while "The Key" is the Alumni magazine. The Old Girls' Association produces a glossy, full colour annual magazine called The Record; members of the Old Boys' Society receive an annual 4 page newsletter entitled "Newsletter". The Girls' School also produce a magazine, which is eminently readable.
There is an active alumni group run by the Schools' Development Association and membership of the Bury Grammar Schools' Alumni Group on LinkedIn is open to Old Boys and Old Girls who are LinkedIn members.
The Old Boys' Society organises an annual dinner in Bury around 6 May each year; The Old Boys' Society (London Branch) organises an annual dinner in London a few days after 6 May each year for Home Counties-based Old Boys (but moved to a Friday late in May in 2012). The London Old Girls also have a lunch each year.

Famous quotes containing the words publications and/or activities:
“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
