Reunion 2022

The school’s sesquicentenary (150 years) is now less than two years away.  It will also be the 50^th anniversary of our matric’ year, and a cause for celebration.  The dates in October 2022 are not yet known; Tubs Reid is in contact with the school to get details which we will share.  The school has extensive plans for the event and a committee chaired by Gwyn Bassingthwaite has been formed to organize the event.  Early details here.

As a result of the pandemic the Class of 1970 whose fiftieth was this year and could not celebrate it and are moving it to 2022.  The same change is likely from all classes for this year.  It is likely to be a busy Founder’s weekend.

We are at the early stages of planning for the weekend and current thinking is to follow much the same format as ten years ago.  More details again as these take shape.  If anyone has any ideas or requests, please share them with us via email or by using the website.

With just two years before the event we recommend that you start planning for travel arrangements.  If anyone has financial issues which preclude you from joining, please contact Tubby Reid on [+27 83 285 6777] confidentially, as we will be making resources available for anyone in these circumstances.  We are hoping for a large turnout, as it is likely the last chance we will have to meet.

Anyone who was at our 40^th reunion will vouch for the incredible impact that these reunions have on one. We are really trying hard to get everyone to attend our 50^th as it is likely that reunions thereafter will be low key events because of our advancing age and other constraints. So if you’re only ever going to attend one reunion – please seriously consider coming to our 50^th.

Missing Classmates

We now have 40 'missing' classmates for whom we have no details. This is after adding as many guys as we could remember who were with us on the journey at any stage during 1961 and 1972.  If you visit the site and know the contact details of anyone in the missing list, please get hold of them and ask them to register.  If they are guys without access to the internet, please send their details to Mike Francis at fraz_francis@hotmail.com.

We are trying to get as many guys involved as possible, to share and reminisce about a special time in our lives.
