Well what can I say? This years reunion must be, if not the best ever, and I have attended many since the early 1980s. It was fantastic to see so many old, and a few new friends. It was also an International event with old boys from Canada & Australia. It was also nice to see our former head of aftercare, Collette Bradford who flew over from Dublin to be with us. The caterers were fantastic by providing a superb dinner. It was that good, I had seconds of both dinner and pudding. Prior to that, we were well fed and watered all day by the ladies (and men) in the kitchen and my thanks go to them and all those who made our special day even more special. As for numbers attending, it seemed like hundreds but I did a quick count on those seated at dinner and I made it about 105. One of the highlights of the weekend, was the Cabaret provided by Mr Blower in the White Horse hotel late on Saturday night. Dave, thanks to you and your family from the bottom of my heart for making the day so successful and I will forward some pictures soon.

I know some of you were a little anxious about me travelling alone back to Manchester, but I had a pleasant journey home, Thanks to a lovely young couple who helpt me with my suitcase on the underground and saw me safely on to euston station, there is more nice young people than there is yobs.
what a great time I had at the reunion seeing all the friends I met in previous years,and those that stayed at the white horse who looked out for me which I thank most sincerely Dave and Mal,Michelle and Alan.Peter and Ann,Dave and Dawn,Alan and Margaret,Paul and Partner (sorry I have forgotten your name)Alan Sibbons, and any others I may have missed.
What a great bunch of friends you are.
Congratulions Dave for all the effort you put in to make it the best reunion I have attended so far.
