We, the "Committee" (how I
dislike that word - it just doesn't fit) have always taken great
pleasure in arranging and attending our re-union parties amongst the
truest friends I know.
To know that you have also enjoyed
these events makes all the planning thoroughly worthwhile.
Your kind, complimentary comments,
reproduced inside without any embellishment, apply to everyone on the
"Committee" (that word again!) and are the icing on a very
delicious cake.
They are very highly appreciated.
Nuff said!

Hi Alf,
I'd just like to say a big
"THANKS" for you and your committee's hard work and for all
the fun and chat at Thame. Lovely to see folk again, even though us
sparkies and instrument fellas were so badly represented. I'll skin 'em
if I can contact them. Thanks a lot though. It really was appreciated.
All the best, Roger (Smudge) Smith
Dear Alf,
A line to thank you so much for a very
enjoyable time at the weekend. We know that these things do not just
happen but take an enormous amount of organisation. It is attention to
detail that make them a success or otherwise and this was certainly some
great success.
It was great to meet so many old faces
(in the kindest sense of the word) and to catch up on what everyone was
doing some forty years down the line. We were amazed at the diversity of
careers that everyone had followed. We were only sorry that we were
unable to stay on for the Sunday events but perhaps next time.
We thought the hotel was an excellent
choice and the meal and service first class. We liked what we saw of
Thame and would be tempted to revisit. We are certainly interested in
another reunion in five years time.
Please pass on our thanks to the
Committee who helped you on this occasion. Once again, our grateful
thanks for a superb weekend.
Roger and Beryl Sheppard
Dear Alf,
A thousand thanks for all your
efforts leading up to last weekend. It was a great reunion - good to see
new old faces yet again. I think I'm right in saying that you've turned
up someone new at each event? Anyway, thanks again for all that you and
the committee do on our behalf - it is greatly appreciated.
On a different note, when I got home
and looked at my hotel bill (which I paid without reading!), I
discovered that the deposit which I had paid when I booked the room had
not been credited to my account. I called them today and got my deposit
refunded without fuss but I thought I'd mention it in case I wasn't the
only one that it had happened to - check your bill. Thanks again &
best regards Johnny & Una Johnson
Hi one and all, great weekend, best
regards to you all. Geoff Cummins
ALF.
Just a quick note of thanks to you and
the committee for all the hard work that you put into the weekend, Carol
and I had a great time. Looking forwards to the next time. Best regards,
Steve and Carol (Urwin-Mann) (in downtown Hollywood) Alf, Sandra and I
would both like to congratulate and thank you and the committee for
organising such a splendid weekend. As always the company was excellent
as was the food, drink, venue and events! We both look forward to the
next one, in five years time? Best wishes Sandra & Grahame Catherall
Dear and Splendid Alf,
I don't doubt you'll be heaped
with congratulations and sincere thanks from all those who attended, so
I'll keep it short - Outstanding! Best wishes, Peter (Martin)
Good evening Alf, Hope you arrived
home safely. What can we say, what a wonderful weekend, thank you so
much. Please also pass on our thanks to the rest of the Committee. Look
forward to seeing you in the not too distant future. Once again thank
you for all your hard work.

Hi All,
To those who could make it to the
reunion, thanks for making it such a successful event. Pam and I REALLY
enjoyed ourselves on both Saturday and Sunday. PS. For the room and for
the wine during the dinner, my bill on clearing from the hotel came to
the spooky total of - Wait for it!!
£95.95 - Well I thought it was odd
anyway. Best regards to you all Dusty & Pam (Miller)
Alf,
Marlene and I had such a super time
with you all in UK - it is such a pity it was so short - to try and
catch up with all the chaps and their partners during the evening was
not possible and all had interesting times to talk of. You and the
committee did wonders in setting up this 40th bash and we cannot thank
you enough - folks, you did yourselves proud!!!

Next 95th Re-Union Function (and the one after)
We shall be having a meeting soon to discuss the next
gathering - and the one (or two) after that.
I have received a suggestion that a good venue for our
50th anniversary should be somewhere special, aka AUSTRALIA.
Its taken several weeks turning round and round in my
head but I must admit that I, personally, quite like the idea. We will
naturally discuss this idea in depth at the meeting and get back to you
on it,
It can't be that difficult to organise but it will
require some commitment from yourselves - and we have time enough to
plot and plan.
However, it will naturally depend on YOU. Please think
about it and please do let know your views.
WATCH THIS SPACE!
