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'."

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". Carolyn C
