Yet another successful reunion - this year celebrating the 60th anniversary of the 47'ers.
We were delighted to welcome Derek Ridout (47) who travelled from USA to join in the fun, together with Barbara Huston (Taunt-35) from Canada and Joan Harremoes (White - 42) who arrived from France.
A total of 70 Old Scholars together with 14 guests gathered in the Comet Suite at the Ramada Hotel in Hatfield, to enjoy a splendid meal and then some reminders of past events at Trinity in particular relation to the 47'ers
In 1950 Janet Smith was top of her class
Les Mead took part in County Finals at White City in 1951 and came first in the 100 yds in a record time of 10.6 seconds.
Mick Osborn won the 1951 Discus in the School Sports for 14 – 16 yrs old
Derek Ridout and Rob Brownjohn competed in the under 16 880 yds and came 2nd and 3rd against a new record of 2 min 18 secs.
In 1953 Dorothy Norris (Wraight) was Captain of St Andrews
All the above gleaned from old school magazines…
Probably the most eventful event of the evening was the reunion between Brian Owen and Robin Vallely from the year 49 who had been great friends at school and after, lost touch and met again for the first time in nearly 50 years.
The laughter and smiles from around the tables says it all.
