As promised in the April newsletter, here are
further details about this years reunion.
Saturday 22 September 2007, from 1pm until about
6pm.
The Windmill-on-the-Common, Windmill Drive, Clapham
Common, SW4.
For those wishing to have a meal during the event, I
have once again booked a buffet lunch, at a cost of £15 per head, to be served
from 1.30pm. See next page/overleaf for
menu. The accommodation set aside for
our use the main dining room is limited to 65 places. For this reason the Management Committee has
agreed that priority should be given to lunch bookings from registered members
of the Association; circulation of this newsletter is therefore restricted to
those OTs. (I will be issuing separate
invitations to non-members who attended last years event. Subject to the number of lunch applications
received in response to this newsletter, it may be possible to extend the same
invitation to non-members, on a first-come, first served basis; they are of
course welcome to attend the reunion itself.)
There is a limited number of designated parking
spaces in the immediate vicinity of The Windmill; all, however, are free at
weekends.
Allowing for continuing sales to date, a small stock
of Association ties may be available for purchase on the day, but orders can in
any case be taken in readiness for the next order to be placed with the
suppliers.
The usual request:
do please bring along any relevant photographs, etc. Its hoped once again to show on laptops the
three films which have been traced:
that taken by Arthur West in c1949 (about four minutes); the first part
of Alan Kurtzs 1958 colour film; and with his commentary Ron Bernsteins
1997 tour of the main building, then being used as an adult education centre.
Jeff
Green and I, with the other members of the Committee, look forward to seeing
you on the day.
Please detach and return to Terry Lawlor
(Association Treasurer), Spring Cottage, Deepdene, Lower Bourne, Farnham,
Surrey, GU10 3QP , by Saturday 11 August 2007
