Sadly the fickle English weather struck again and the ON football match was cancelled. The AGM was rather under attended as a result! Let's hope for better luck in 2008....
OLD NORTHAVIAN REUNION 2007
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).

Saturday 14th October 2006
The Grand re-union of most of the members of the Northaw 1968 First XI football team took place at Norman Court School on Saturday 14th October 2006.
Billy Howard, Stephen Plaister and Ronwen Walker (neé Barton) represented the Staff. Jonathan Haak (Captain), Jamie Birkmyre, Dariush Bakhtiar, Adrian (Stan) Baring, Simon Clements, Pierre Condou, Simon Moore, Stuart Naylor Vane and Stephen Windsor-Clive represented The Team. Unfortunately, Edward Bolitho, Jamie Lindsay and Graham Radley were unable to be there on the day.
Their contemporaries included Lionel de Rothschild, Hugo Egleston, Jonathan Ford, James Hibbert-Hingston, Michael Higgins, Henry Humphreys, Tom Maidment, Noel Malcolm, Tim Pritchard-Barrett, Robert Sutcliffe, Charlie Thomas, David Thomas and Toby Whaley.
Many had travelled a considerable distance to be there – Tehran, southern Spain, Germany, south Wales, the Suffolk coast and even the other end of the Norman Court Estate being amongst the departure points!
Inspired, no doubt, by the presence of the all conquering Class of ’68, the current Norman Court School First XI did not disappoint, beating Ryde School by a convincing 6-0.
After the match, a reunited Team photograph was taken with everyone positioned as they had been in 1968. The only thing that was lacking (apart from the three absent players) was a trip to see a Magnificent Seven double-bill, but you can’t have everything!
