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)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
