Sherborne House
Laurie Markes, Nigel Dodds, Andrew Cameron-Tillett, Robert Curtis, Trevor Richard, Nick Sweet, Roy Limbrick, Martin Fewings, John and Bron Bunting, Richard Samson and I; plus new to our reunions - Jack Barber a teacher of 1966-67, John Drew, Richard Rudland and Lydia, and Malcolm Etherton. We all met up at the church; the National Trust Ranger Mike Robinson talked to some of us about the area; we met Yvonne at the main door of the House.
Unfortunately there were no other residents available to to give access to their apartments, but we were permitted to roam the communal areas - there is always something new to bring up distant memories from our days at school. We were then invited to the Orangery for refreshment and the chance to view the school archive.
The Fox for lunch:
Yvonne was invited to join us for lunch at the Fox, where we met up with Patrick Delaney (

Lea Marston for Dinner:
After a pleasant dinner I proposed a toast to "absent Friends" and the school motto, "Servabo Fidem." We also drank to George Cooper for organising our Midlands reunion.
Although smaller than the Fox group we had an enjoyable evening - with the added advantage of staying at a Hotel Spa, some of us enjoyed a swim too. We were George Cooper, John Stanley, Roger Fowler, Martin Jones, Clive Sinclaire, Trevor Richards, Nick Sweet, Nigel Dodds, Andrew Tillett, Laurie Markes, Bob Curtis, Philip Allen, Jim Rowe.
