1951ers Reunion The Jolly Farmers Oakwood 28 March 2007
20 Trinitarians and their partners attended a lunch time reunion where the
Guest of Honour was Emel Rochat our former French teacher who taught
classes 1c and 2c 1951-53 and other pupils at dates around that time .
It was indeed a memorable reunion .
Cheryl Robertson( Beryl Ford) and Kemal Ghafur gave a spirited dramatic rendering of La Bergere(The Shepherdess) in costume followed by the poem Le Papillon(The Butterfly) also in dramatic monologue as taught by Emel just 56 years ago!. (see page 2)
The audience joined in the repeat performance with hymn sheets provided!
It was wonderful to meet up with our teacher whose drive and energy are still amazing.
Emel was presented with a bouquet by Laurie Gavell(Loretta Krazner) and a beautiful gold and jewelled brooch of the Festival of Britain with the year 1951 carved on it by Sandy Ghafur .
