The fourteenth Over 70s Reunion was held at the School on Sunday 27 April. It was well attended, with 82 people sitting down to lunch.
The only variation from previous years was that the pre-lunch reception was held in the Speech Hall. Happily the numbers have grown over recent years and it was decided that the Reading Room was becoming rather crowded and people were unable to move about. Anyway, the Speech Hall proved very successful and then, of course, the lunch was excellent. The school staff really go to a great deal of trouble in making a good day for us.
One last point: I have decided that having been involved for eight years, I ought to hand over to a younger man – I feel that the newer Over 70s do not know me. I am very pleased that Bill Braid has agreed to take my place for Bill ticks all the boxes – younger, well known and a born organiser.
I appreciate and thank everyone for all the support for this event during my time.
