Saturday 30th June 2007 wasn't quite the day that we all had in mind when it was first planned. Who could have anticipated the truly appalling weather? School Sports Days do not, sadly, lend themselves to monsoon conditions and so the decision was taken to postpone the Sports and hope that enough brave souls would persevere through the rain to join us.
In the end, we were not disappointed as well over 40 Old Northavians from the 1940s through to the current era made it. Nearly 20 former members of Staff were also on hand to join in the reminiscing (and enjoy the excellent lunch provided by the Norman Court catering department).
The majority of ONs present were from the Foyle era, as expected, since one of the main purposes of the day was to enable them to come and say goodbye to Kevin before he takes up his new post in the Far East. The presentation to him of an album of phototographs and memories of the school contributed by recent Old Northavians, allowed Jules Baron, the Parent Governor who had masterminded the book, to say a few suitable words of thanks for all that Kevin has done for the current generation of Northavians (old or otherwise).
