Class of 1984 Reunion
On Saturday 14th March I arrived at BHSG at 9 am to get ready for our Reunion. I must admit to being rather nervous! Would everyone turn up? Would it be awkward and conversation stilted? I need not have worried. Old Girls began arriving and the conversation flowed. Soon the Atrium was bursting with women and the volume was deafening as we all caught up with 25 years worth of news!
There were 47 of us to be gathered up and ushered into our places in the Hall for our group photo, a wonderful turnout! All of us had been apprehensive but none of us could believe how little we had all changed and how easy it was to roll back the years.
A tour of the new SPA development lead to even more memories stirring as we tried to place the new within the old, this was followed by a lovely lunch in the Bay (I am sure it was bigger when we were at school!). Then we were let loose to explore the school, all the while remembering and catching up with old friends.
A great time was had by all, many carrying on the reunion into the night with Chinese and Karaoke (well done Lyndsey for organising this). I have had so many thank you's from Old Girls who had a great day.
Many thanks to Alyson Courtenay, BHSG Development Director for co-ordinating the event and encouraging me along the way and to Cora Oldfield (Miss Walker) for the great photos and Paul Fricker for coming to meet so many familiar faces.
I am sure it will not be 25 years before we get together again!
If anyone was not able to attend but wants to contact old friends please get in touch with me and I will pass on your details.
