Reunion Literary.
The weekend starts around 12 noon with a gathering for the early arrivals in the UPSTAIRS ROOM of the Mariners Bar. Excellent bar snacks are available so, if you arrive early, or are local, come and have lunch with us.
The Reunion proper starts at 2.00 pm in the lower room of the ………..Suite, where John King will have set out our now considerable photographic and memorabilia archive. The AGM, that inestimable part of the OMA weekend, will be held, as last year, in the Oak Room at 3.30 pm and free refreshments will be served. This is the time to come and offer your services to the Association; new faces on the committee are always welcome!
The evening festivities begin at 7.30 pm with a wine reception and we sit down for dinner at around 8.00 pm. During the meal, there will be the usual quiz and raffle. The guest speaker this year is Bill Kelly who was a master at the School in the 1960s and was later an RAF chaplain. I know he will have a fund of very good stories to tell.
Eucharist will be held at St Michael’s Church, Ingoldisthorpe at 11.15 am on Sunday and the celebrant will be Bill Kelly. Numbers at the Service have been dwindling of late, so this year please make an effort to attend.
The weekend ends with light refreshments served in Ingoldisthorpe Village Hall and thence home.
We look forward to seeing you, old faces and new, at this the 48th Annual Reunion of the Old Michaelian Association.
A request from Nigel Packer.
I have recently had contact with Stephen Baxter with whom I attended St Michael’s. We are attempting to find as many students as possible that attended the school from 1963-1969. We ask them to get in contact with either of us to see if there are contacts that the OMA have no records or addresses for. In the "Who’s Who" year book Sir Chris White (teacher) has a contact address of Mrs E Steinschaden-Silver, Pinkney Court, Malmesbury, Wilts. SN16 0PD. does anyone in the Association live in that area? Also, Stephen has an address of a Charles Bishop at 4 Low Road, Illington, Thetford. Could this be the same Charles Bishop who attended school? Does anyone live near there?
