The 2016 Reunion.

On this lovely May day, 29 Old Boys and 18 wives came along to the Reunion at Dorchester Rugby Club where, apart catching up on everybody's news, we were royally entertained by Robin who presented an extract from his show 'Laughter is the Best Medicine.'

Once again Bob and Monica Stephenson produced a first rate buffet. Sadly it is the last one they will be preparing for us as they are retiring from the business so someone new will have to be found for next year.

In the last few years Kirsty Gatehouse has been the contact point at the Club but it looks as though she too will be moving on to new pastures shortly. Nevertheless Nigel has booked the Club for Saturday 6th May 2017.

A couple of years ago we were serenaded by Mike Snelling followed by Robin's amusing anecdotes this year. So if anyone out there has some skills that would entertain us in 2017 please let Nigel know.

My thanks to Nigel and Ernie for the photos below.
