Old Hulmeians' Association
The School's former pupils society is the Old Hulmeians' Association (OHA), which was founded on 8 January 1913. A parallel Old Hulmeians in London Association ran from a similar time until the late 1990s, when it merged with the main OHA. Three Head Masters have held the office of President of the OHA, namely Rev. W.A. Parker-Mason, Trevor Dennis and James Bird. The current President is Prof. Ian Munro. The OHA owns, in part, the Old Hulmeians Memorial Ground playing field in Whalley Range. The ground is shared with Whalley Range Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club and is frequently used for school cricket fixtures. Sections exist within the OHA for Lacrosse, Golf and Cross-Country, and intermittently Cricket, Rugby and even a Masonic Lodge in the past. The OHA hold an annual dinner and produces an annual newsletter.

Famous quotes containing the word association:
“With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
—Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)
