Catering was by
Mr. Boscoe (who has a
son at the school) and his team. Being so late
coming in, we must have made things difficult for them, but
they coped very well.
In preparing for the
event the Committee carefully decided not to allocate people to
tables, or tables to years, so as not to cramp anyone's
style. So what happened? |
|
 |
Almost everyone sat with 'Their'
year. Here's the class of '53, with the ex-teacher Anne
Pierce (Robinson). | |
|
|
| When I were a
lad, I weren't allowed to read at the table. But
some things change for the better. Here's some early School
Magazines. |
|
 |
| The class of '56 were a
lively bunch. They lunched, they swapped souvenirs ...
| |
 |
They worked the
room... | |
 |
| ... and like Japanese
tourists they gave their cameras to passers-by and posed for a photo
or six. (This snap of mine was a bit off-focus, I'm
afraid. Miles off,
actually) | |
|
| Here's some people from
class of '55: Christine Gibson (Gowing), Glenis Thompson
(Wilkinson) and Angela Yates (Reddaway). Photo by Val Hunter
(Coker) - also class of '55. |

Another photo from Val - but she doesn't
know who the people are. On the other hand, Irene Morley
(Moss) emailed to say she does: left to right, they're
Kieth Turner, Alison Brothwell
(Morely), Kathleen Harley (Hind), Sandra Shaw, Irene herself and Sandie Hall. All
started 1961.
Thanks,
Irene. | |
|
|
and finally
from Val, here's a fine shot of Joe Pykett ('53),
Sue Bell ('55) and Sandra Wilson (Machin) ('58) with their empty
glasses. The fourth glass must be Val's. But where is
the lady herself? |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
Here she is
- leaning on Joe Pykett's shoulder. That's John Adey
('56) on the left and Sue Bell again on the right. This photo
is by Sandra Wilson. |

After lunch, Allan
Ward, a deputy head at the school, offered us a guided
tour. Several, in fact, to control the numbers.
