| 06-04-2007 09:00 | Planned ReunionThe Reunion Happened at Easter 2007.
Events occured on Thursday 5th April, Saturday 7th April and Sunday April 8th 2007.
Q: What do you get when you put 40-50 65ers in one place? A: Chat, Noise, Remembering, Laughter, Reminiscing, Fun!
54 of the 101 Found Classmates attended one or more event. Several Teachers attended ... Gregor Ramsey attended every day. 190+ people in total, including 29 partners attended Thursday to Sunday.
Those attending resolved to not let the reunion end with Easter, and we have some ideas to keep it alive and to organise further lower-key gatherings of 65ers. More about that later. |
