The assembly Hall of the 1956 building (now Fortismere South Wing) in Tetherdown was filled to capacity (and slightly over, as some tables took more than the usual 10 places). The celebration began with champagne, followed by a few formalities, which our president, Frank Rhodes, conducted in his usual efficient style. </div> <bR> <div> Frank conducted the election of Luncheon Committe members, each of whom will be very pleased to hear from OTs any feedback; suggestions for improvement etc. These are Maurice Escow (Chair),Jenny Harrold, Stella Price, David Bell, Raymond Cave, Allan Bordoley, Allan Rutherford and Rex Sills.</div> <bR> <div> The celebration then continued with a four-course meal. Initial feedback seems to give the caterers good marks for coping with the large numbers. No complaints reached the writer's ears of anyone's lunch arriving cold. As a departure from recent reunions, this year the ticket price included wine. A cheerful, sometimes boisterous, atmosphere soon built up. This reached its climax with the announcement of England's rugger  victory over Australia.</div> <bR> <div> As usual the reunion spilled over into late afternoon and evening for many - and as usual the venue was the John Baird.</div> <bR> <div> This year the luncheon committee thought the event went off quite smoothly: we didn't seem to have the usual hiccups. But that was just how we saw it; maybe you saw it differently. If so, please get in touch with anyone on the committee to make your views known. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id101.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Reunion various photographs"><U><B>General Reunion Photos</B></U></A><B>  </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000CC" FACE="Arial" >See all Reunion photos</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id155.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="2003 Lunch 001"><U><B>2003 Lunch</B></U></A><B>  </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000CC" FACE="Arial" >Go straight to 2003 Reunion photos</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id190.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="2004 Reunion 01"><U><B>2004 Lunch</B></U></A><B>  </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000CC" FACE="Arial" >Go straight to 2004 Reunion photos</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id291.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="07 Reunion 001"><U><B>2007 Lunch</B></U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000CC" FACE="Arial" > - Go straight to 2007 Reunion photos</FONT></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
