The 35th reunion for the Class of ‘81 was held on the 12th November 2016 at the Glass Boat on the historic Bristol floating harbour. We had 35 guests attending with 21 of the original year-group and a very enjoyable evening was had by all.

Thanks to all of you who made the effort to attend and especially to the volunteer speakers who entertained us so royally.

Sister was rarely seen wearing black, so would prefer her friends to wear the bright colours she loved wearing herself.
