On a recent visit to Norfolk John King visited Anna Godfrey. He found that she was as well as could be expected and was.....absolutely delighted to see “one of her boys” although I was not strictly one of her house guests. She was frail and a little emotional, but clearly extremely alert. The Close is just opposite the Compasses pub in Snettisham.  The staff were welcoming and Anna is in very comfortable surroundings.  She sends her love to all those who know her and hopes to be able to attend the Reunion Service in October. Let us see how she is by then and whether the Staff, an SRN was in attendance, agree to this.  I said that I would visit he again in July.  John goes on to say.....As I was passing I also visited Tom Healey in Heacham who said that all being well he would be at the Reunion in October and if asked would be happy to do the intercessions at the Eucharist on Sunday.......and Pat Dove in Sutton Bridge who is well and sends greetings to all.   

    At the Committee Meeting at Bob Hill’s abode I was asked to make specific mention in “The Mitre” of the Friday night of the Reunion Weekend.  Last year seven Members arrived at the Le Strange on the Friday  evening and it was thought that if more of you, and particularly local Members, knew about this then it would be an ideal time to socialise before the main attractions of the weekend started. So any of you out there who are in the vicinity of the Le Strange Arms on Friday October 27^th  take note and come and have a beer or three and a good laugh.  

    I know its a perennial moan but again this time there is a lot of “filler” items in  this august biannual. This I know doesn’t suit everyone, some, though, enjoy the padding and have said so and for this I thank you. Because of the format of “The Mitre” the pages have to be inserted in fours so I cannot put just one extra page in, consequently you either have 24 pages which seems a little meagre or the usual 28. The point I am trying to make is.... if you don’t want fillers PROVIDE COPY. You must all have stories to tell funny or poignant, sad or macabre, libelous or libationous. I would be delighted to include any or all of your cogitations and perorations, recollections and reminiscences. Put it down either in finished form or even note form, I’m sure that I can weave a story from what you send, and  let us all share those golden moments before we all become gaga, senility sets in and we cannot remember even going to St Michael’s let alone what it was we did there!!! 

    At the Committee meeting Bob asked that we try to remember and make a list of Staff-Members who were associated with the School. This came about because on a recent Radio Norfolk programme Jean Huson of Heacham mentioned that she had been for a short time a teacher in the early days of St Michael’s. This led us on to try to list other Teachers and ancillary Staff through the 20 odd year history of the School. On the next page there is a list of those we could remember. We know it’s not by any means complete so please look through it, add and  amend it as necessary and then send it to
