Ladies Luncheon at The Burlington Hotel on April 24th 2014

26/4/2014

0 Comments

 
A nice sunny day for our luncheon.

60 ladies attended. Some had travelled quite a long way, Felixstowe, Kent and Peterborough.

For the first time we had a table plan arranged which seemed to work reasonably well. It needs some fine tuning but we will get there. Hopefully we have seen the last of the “coats on chairs” scrum. If anyone was unhappy with where they were sitting then please contact Jane as soon as possible.

Congratulations to Peggy  Hills (nee Newman) for obtaining her degree which will be presented to her at Ely Cathedral in May 2014.
Armed with only 'O' levels she started a degree course which would take 5 years to complete. Peggy chose a Science Open Degree which gave her the opportunity of choosing a different module every year if she so wished. She covered World and Environmental Studies and finished with Child Development.

A call goes out for DOREEN LEGGETT…where are you? If anyone knows of her whereabouts please let us know via this Website. She was at the school from 1949 – 54.

Sadly four Old Girls have passed away since our last luncheon:

Janet Birch (nee Gibbons)

Joy Cosaitis

Daphne Swatman

Elsie Knights (nee Winter)

Our condolences go out to their family and friends.

If  there are  any Old Girls who worked at The Midland Bank Limited, Hall Quay, Great Yarmouth, there will be a reunion luncheon on 21st May at the Imperial Hotel, Great Yarmouth.  If you are interested and would like to attend please contact Iris London wislondon@outlook.com who will be more than happy to give more details.

Our next luncheon will be at The Burlington Hotel  on 13th November 2014.
