As usual, for anyone arriving on Friday night, there will be a gathering of
OM’s at the Le Strange during the evening, just hunt around till you find
someone!!
The Reunion proper starts at around mid-day on Saturday when a downstairs section of the bar in the Mariner’s has been reserved for our use, look out for the OMA signs. Bar-meals and snacks are available and whether or not you intend to come to the AGM or Evening Function you are welcome to join us at this lunchtime gathering.
The AGM will be held in the Palace Suite and it is there that John King our Secretary and Archivist will have set up his vast array of Old Michaelian photographs and memorabilia. The start time is 3.30 and tea will be provided.
If you wish to stand for election to the committee (or know somebody who would) do speak up, we do need some new ‘younger’ blood on the committee so if you can spare two Sunday’s a year please consider it. We meet, usually, at a committee member’s house and wives/husbands are very welcome to come along.
We start to assemble for the evening festivities at 7.00 p.m. with pre-dinner drinks in the Palace Suite. Dinner is at 7.45 p.m. and the menu is as follows-
|
Starter |
Melon Kiwi & Orange Platter |
|
Main course |
Roast Leg of Lamb with rosemary port wine & redcurrant sauce Selection of Vegetables & Potato |
|
Dessert Course |
Poached Oranges in Grand Marnier & Cream |
|
|
Coffee & Mints |
there will , of course, be a vegetarian option and any special needs can be catered for by the Le Strange staff if you arrange it with them.
The Speaker will be Simon, plus anyone else who wishes to say a few words; the only provisos being that Simon knows, preferably before the meal, that you wish to speak and that you restrict yourself to 3 minutes. A raffle will be held during the evening.
When we (finally) get to bed remember that the clocks go back 1 hour!! If you remember to do this, not only will it give you an extra hour of sleep but it will also make sure that you arrive at Ingoldisthorpe at the proper time for the Reunion Eucharist which is at 11.00 a.m. The celebrant and preacher will be Roger Wikeley.
Refreshments this year will be served in Church and not at the village hall. For your relief, however, arrangements have been made for the village hall to be open.
Have a safe journey home and remember...
