OE reunion for leavers from 1982-86

Forty years (or more) since these OEs left the College... what a milestone! We thought that this definitely called for a celebration. So a special reunion event for some 40 ex-pupils was organised with a walk down memory lane with a tour of the school (which JT described as like herding cats) showcasing both the familiar, unchanging parts of the College and plenty of exciting new developments which show just how much has evolved over the years. We also dug out some old photos and memorabilia to bring back the memories. And there was a guest appearance by video of headmaster of the time Chris Saunders (1981-93). With a drinks reception followed by a two-course dinner, there was plenty of time to chat with old friends and catch up with what they're doing.

This event was generously sponsored by The Long Man Brewery (Chris (Reeves 1977-82) and Steve Lees (Reeves 1980-85)) so there was plenty of beers available to enjoy throughout the evening.

If you are interested in organising a group of contemporaries to come along to a special reunion, then please get in touch with us (es@eastbourniansociety.co.uk) and we'll help you organise it.
