must start with thanks to Paddy Savage, the Headmaster, for allowing us
to invade Northaw / Norman Court (call it what you will) particularly as
this was during term time, and to the kitchen staff who laid on an
excellent lunch for us.
But then to ONs - thank you to those that came to reminisce and re-visit old haunts and to catch up with old comrades.
For those of you that couldn't make it,
you missed out on a great day. The sun shone as has been typical of
past reunions, and everyone enjoyed wandering around, re-visiting old
haunts within the school and grounds; checking that the Dell is still
there (rumours that it had been filled in proved to be un-founded) and
generally inspecting what has changed and what remains seemingly
untouched since we were all there! Even if the use of a room had
changed, interestingly the smell hadn't - so it all seemed unnervingly
familiar!
Denis and Anne Blake returned -
it was great to see them on such fine form and I know they enjoyed
seeing everyone and hearing all the news of careers, marriages, births
etc.
If there is to be one
disappointment of the day, it would be that more people were not there -
perhaps Facebook is to blame, in that it is far easier to catch up on
line and find out what everyone is doing with their life!
The
next reunion (for those with younger siblings) will be for the 1990s
era. Please do sign up and come along. It really is a case of the more
the merrier....
