Thanks for that, Shaun, and glad you enjoyed it. I just don't know how Janet manages to produce such a spread for the money we pay. As you know, she hasn't raised the price over the past 3 years. We are very lucky, I think.

I attended my first Reunion, almost 20 years after setting up kbgs.com (my excuse before was that I was living in Singapore). Many thanks to Doug, Gill and in fact everyone who made the effort to attend.

It was a faintly disconcerting but heart-warming experience for me. Virtually all the faces and names were familiar, from photos on the website and from postings, & emails. Yet at the same time it was my first meeting with almost everyone. Like a branch of the family that I knew about but had never met! Certainly by the end of the event I felt I had begun to make new friends.

It was a tribute to the quality and camaraderie of the school that Old Boys are still making an effort to meet after 50 odd years. I would encourage all who missed out this year to try to get to the 2017 Reunion. Inevitably, time is taking its toll.

The food was definitely good value for money. No complaints there (except perhaps I was hoping for a more traditional stodgy suet-based pudding; hard to find such desserts these days).

On the way back my Satnav took me back via Crosshills (completely unplanned). It turned out to be a pleasant reminder of where my father grew up.

Don't you ever listen, Jackson? Didn't I say that owing to unforeseen extra expenses (Gill and me recruiting in the Antipodes) there will be a slight increase next year - to £70? Pay attention, boy!

Sorry, Sir.

Cheap at twice the price.

Once again Doug and Gil have provided all present with another day to remember. Good venue(as always),good food and good company, though fewer in number than previous years. Ah!- We few, we happy few!
It was also, a pleasure to meet up with our Webmaster, Chris Firth who is now domiciled in the U.K. What a smashing, "fifty-something" young man he turned out to be. I hope he will be regular at future Reunions. He must have some interesting stories to tell us of his time out in Singapore.
So, many thanks once again, to Doug and Gil for the efforts made on our behalf, in 'keeping the show on the road'. Well done!

It looks as though everything I was going to say has been said. The 2016 Re-Union lunch was a huge success even though numbers were down a bit. But that has been a trend for several years - I suppose it is inevitable that as time goes by the 'raw material' will dry up. Nevertheless, I do hope we can keep the Re-Union operational for a few more years and that I remain able to join in. I am always pleasantly surprised to see lads more senior than myself in attendance - just wish a few more of the immediate post war generation could come along. Thanks Doug!
