A group of former members of 2&3 South held a dinner for their housemaster John Bain and his wife Cynthia at the Caledonian Club in London on October 20.
John wrote to Jaime Stewart the next day: “Many thanks to everyone for your kindness and generosity; to you, Matthew [Pragnell] and Carrie [Swanson] for initiating the idea, and to you for all your hard work in organising the event. The years rolled back very easily, essence of personalities intact, conversation fluent and easy. Such a civilised bunch you have turned out to be. You gave us a wonderful evening – and gifts into the bargain, more than we deserved.”
