Missed my 10 year. Organised the 20, 25 and 30 year reunions. I wouldn't have missed them for the world. We had our 30 year in September with 180 people in attendance. I will be starting to organise the 35th for 2010 2 years before. We are planning on holding it at Whistler after the 2010 Winter Olympics. Deb

no but i would like to! heard about the one i could have gone to after it had happened! tina x

No way, never, not in a million years, over my dead body.

In 1983 because I was no longer working, and had time to wander round the city with my son in his pram, I started bumping into people from my old senior school. It was almost 20 years since we had left there, so I arranged a meeting in a local pub and several people turned up. I had a message put in the local newspaper which helped bring some people in. From them I collected names and addresses and those people made contact with others, and with the help of another newspaper ad, I arranged a couple more get togethers, the best one having over 150 people turn up at a function room I had managed to get for free. Even some of the teachers came from all those years ago, one down from Yorkshire, and others from round and about. We had a great evening and from that we have gone on to have other get togethers several times. I hope to arrange a big one for 2007 when my year will all be 60 - people from other years come too and it is so much fun to catch up with folk again. We have several who became teachers, doctors and such, and some live abroad but try to come back if they can. Suddenly the teachers we were scared of or in awe of (the good old days of respect to teachers) seem quite human and even affable. Happy (mostly) memories.

I think it will be a very emotional time.i will be prepared though with a pocket full of kleenex...they were all very close friends of mine.i hope it all works out ok...Still trying to find a fewxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((((:

I first went to my high school reunion day, organised at the school, in 2003, 20 years after we left school. It was great and through Friends reunited we found 14 members of our form to meet up. Since then I have organised a reunion day each spring, meeting in a pub near Birmingham. Usually about 10 or 12 of us make it, different each year. There are 4 or 5 stalwarts, and this year 2 new ones we hadn't seen since school. So worthwhile- we all enjoy the days and the increased contact between us, and get on even better than we did at school!

I'm with you there Fred, I have no wish to go to a reunion. Christine x

I went to one not long after I left *** years ago lol. Got contacted by an old school friend recently and I'm thinking of going to another now, but it's been so long I'm feeling a bit Bashful.

Thinking to my schools big 50th birthday reunion in the Summer Have'nt completely decided yet George

I went to a school reunion in 1996 and will be going to their next one in July, when the school will be 50years old. It was great to see everyone again, there were many from my year and it was interesting to hear what had happened in their lives since we had left school. We first all met in the main hall, then afterwards the year groups moved off to the separate classrooms set aside for them. It was very casual and we all just sat where we wanted and chatted freely. I was already in letter contact with some, so meeting was a bonus. It is probably better if you know for sure that someone you know will be there, rather than go to meet a group of people whose lives have moved on, since last you met. .....What am I saying?...You are years younger than me. Go for it ! Gwyn
