REUNIONS |
|
|
|
1957
'Get
Together' |
On
September
12th
2009
fourteen
seventy
year
olds
gathered
at
The
Riverside
Terrace
Cafe
situated
under
the
Royal
Festival
Hall
in
London.
Being
a
little
worried
about
recognizing
each
other
after
up
to
56
years
we
put
a
blazer,
kindly
loaned
by
the
school
second
hand
clothes'
store,
on a
chair
back
but
all
was
well--we
really
had
not
changed
at
all,
or
had
we?
Appearances
may
have
'increased'
but
old
friends
are
old
friends
and
we
had
a
lovely
time
hearing
news
and
remembering
previous
times,
particularly
Bridge
I
think.
Our
group
consisted
of;
Leith
Boler
from
Alfred;
Anna
Belcher,
Susan
Fairbairn,
Sally
Fletcher,
Judy
Hancox
and
Jill
Williams
from
Brooke
Place
(Jean
Parry,
the
main
instigator
of
the
event,
was
sadly
unable
to
travel
down
from
Leeds);
Jenny
Godden
from
Chaucer
Merchants;
Frances
Goldsworthy,
Rosemary
Harvey
(who
invited
Hilary
Lyndon-Jones)
and
Maggie
Knight
from
Cranmer;
Anne
Baxter
and
Rozel
Lattimer
from
Nightingale,
and
Cath
Collier
and
Alison
Caldicott
from
Somerville
House.
We
came
from
Gloucestershire,
Hampshire,
Hertfordshire,
Kent,
London,
Somerset,
Surrey,
Sussex,
Wiltshire
and
even
Scotland
and
Canada.
We
were
sorry
that
others
who
wanted
to
come
were
on
holiday,
looking
after
relatives
or
busy
with
'professional'
work
but
it
was
good
to
see
everyone
who
came
looking
so
cheerful
and
well.
We
think
a 2
year
gap
before
the
next
gathering
will
be
about
right
so
we
look
forward
to
seeing
everyone
then.
We
have
still
'lost':
Caroline
Beaumont,
Anne-Marie
Fenchelle,
Priscilla
Hicks,
Jo
Isaac,
Pam
Jackson,
Gillian
Kent,
Janet
Marks,
Sue
Rogers,
Gillian
Sanders,
Judy
Sisson,
Jackie
Teakle,
Myrle
Tilsey
Green
and
also
Jenny
Turvey,
Anne
Tunbridge
and
Dorcas
Hadfield
who
we
think
went
to
the
Grammar
School--and
any
others?
Jo-an
Baxter
Please
email
jo.anb@btinternet.com
if
you
can
help
us
find
them.
Meeting
in
London?
For
an
easy
to
arrange,
informal
group
you
might
like
to
consider
'The
Riverside
Terrace
Cafe'
which
is
alongside
and
facing
the
Thames
and
'under'
The
Royal
Festival
Hall
(near
Waterloo
and
Charing
Cross
Stations).
The
cafe
is
huge
(you
could
easily
have
30
or
more
people
in a
corner
without
needing
reservation
other
than
to
ensure
its
availability)
with
food,
not
gourmet
but
perfectly
adequate
amidst
your
groups'
chatter,
served
from
a
smallish
counter
in
an
almost
similar
way
to
that
which
MacDonalds
uses
to
cater
for
a
lot
of
people,
though
the
menu
is
different.
I
think
one
needs
to
establish
that
there
is
not
some
big
function
on
your
chosen
date
but
for
convenience
and
pleasure
it
is
very
good.

50
Year
Reunion
-
7.7.07,
Founders'
Day |
This
was
held
on
07:07:07,
Founders'
Day,
and
consisted
of
about
twenty
of
Cath
Collier's
year
meeting
at
School
for
an
Old
Girls'
picnic
on
the
Lib.
Lawn
and
a
wander
around
the
buildings
which
included
viewing
an
impressive
Art
Exhibition.
We
were
also
very
interested
to
be
taken
around
Brooke
Place,
much
changed,
and
Brabourne.
We
followed
this
with
an
early
evening
meal
at
the
nearby
Holiday
Inn
where
we
were
joined
by
our
three
P.E.
staff,
Bridget
Horton
(Mrs Lendrum),
Sheila
Bull
(Mrs
Palmer)
and
Doreen
Abbott
(Mrs
Cole)
and
we
received
good
wishes
from
Maureen
Knox-Johnston
and
Joan
Bryant-Salmon
(Mrs
Duncan).
It
was
great
fun
and
it
is
especially
good
to
hear
that
several
people
who
were
'found'
are
meeting
up
with
such
long-ago
friends.
I
really
do
recommend
that
other
years
also
aim
for
50
year
reunions;
we
found
over
50
people
and
would
love
to
find
the
remaining
14
or
so.
The
O.G.A.
can
always
help
with
some
contacts
if
you
decide
to
'have-a-go'."Jo-An

LONDON
LUNCHEON
AT
QUAGLINO'S
-
November
2007 |
|
The
Quaglino's
luncheon
has
become
one
of
the
highlights
of
my
time
in
London
(now
that
I
live
in
SW
France)
and
this
year
was
no
exception.
We
had
47
"girls"
attending
which
was
terrific,
and
lots
of
young
ones.....(that's
you
in
your
late
twenties
and
early
thirties
I'm
talking
about!).
I am
so
pleased
that
the
original
idea
is
really
working
and
we
are
getting
girls
who
live
and
work
in
London
coming
along
to a
"School"
event,
so
please
keep
it
up
Modume,
Nicola
and
company.
It
is
great
for
us
to
hear
about
life
in
the
City
etc.
This
year
we
slightly
cheated
too
by
asking
mothers
to
bring
their
daughters....mine
was
very
pleased
to
see
some
old
faces
she
recognised
as
until
now
I
think
she
has
been
the
only
daughter
attending.
So
the
Reader
girls,
(I
know
you
were
all
forced
to
come
by
Mary
and
then
ended
up
really
enjoying
yourselves!)
we
hope
to
see
all
or
some
of
you
on
November
15th
2008.
Thank
you
to
all
the
other
mothers
who
played
ball....the
sceptical
can
only
be
convinced
by
dragging
them
along
it
seems.
And
we
were
happy
to
see
so
many
"big
seniors"
on
Mary's
table,
10
of
you
in
one
go,
wow.
Thank
you
all
for
coming....Di
Leaver,
Jo
Halley
and
all
you
others.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
supports
this
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
in
the
Autumn.
So
BOOK
EARLY,
as
the
man
said,
the
room
really
can
only
hold
45
comfortably.
I
would
like
to
thank
my
"added
at
the
last
minute
table-for-two"
companion
Jo-an
for
all
her
diligence
providing
lists
and
getting
you
all
to
sign
in,
a
great
help
to
me
who
could
thus
"mingle"
for
once.
Even
so,
the
day
ended
and
Rae
Sasson
and
I
once
again
said..."well,
we'll
talk
on
the
'phone
tomorrow".
