St Margaret’s Mysteries - The C.E.G.S 50 Year Jubilee Badge

At the end of 1909, several Eton High School Old Girls met at Toorak for the purpose of forming an Old Girls’ Association.

In 1911, the first meeting of the Church of England High School OGA was held at St Margaret’s House. So, from these humble beginnings, our present OGA grew.

Recently, I found a small badge which celebrated the C.E.G.S. 50 Year Jubilee. Does anyone else still have theirs?
