Veterans’ Reunion
The annual Veterans’ Reunion was held on
Saturday 17 May 2014.
Sixty three Old
Collegians plus their partners visited College and
shared a day of fine food, good conversation and
great fellowship.
Many a tale of old was
swapped amongst the guests present. The programme for the day included a visit to the museum, a tour around the indoor sports centre, tea
on The Oval, a church service, wreath laying outside Clark House and the reunion luncheon in Victoria Hall.

A big thank you to Linda & the team for the
wonderful entertainment laid on for us "oldies"
last Sat. the 17th May. The programme was
exactly right & the food was excellent. It was
great to touch base with so many old friends
again & talk about the "good old days" - not
forgetting where life has taken us. The whole
concept of a veteran's lunch is outstanding.
Thank you as well to the school for making us
proud to be Old Collegians .
Fred (1956) & Anne Davel .
Just to say thanks very much for all your hard
work in putting together such a fantastic lunch
for all the oldies. My dad loved it. Once again,
many thanks - here's to repeating the whole
saga next year!
Sheila, Pieter (1938) & Mary Swanepoel
Kevin Trodd paid tribute to Bev Wimbush (1948),
the original founder of the Veterans’ reunion.
Michael “Goen” Hay lit a candle in remembrance
of those Old Collegians who have passed away.
I write to say a very big thank you for your kind
invitation to attend the 2014 Veterans’ Reunion
Luncheon as a guest on behalf of my late
husband Ron Blackbeard (1946). I really feel
very privileged to be able to enjoy these very
special functions and get to know the school
friends of whom my late husband spoke with
such deep affection. His years at College were
very special to him. My sincere thanks to all
who worked so hard to make the day so special
for us all, the delicious morning tea, meaningful
service and wreath laying ceremony, the bagpipes, delicious meal, speeches and my only
regret was that I was unable to stay to watch
the rugby match.
Dulcie Blackbeard.
