2008 Reunion
 |
Our reunion began with the reception in the Barn where our President, Mrs.Sybil Wilbraham and our Vice President, Miss Chris Short welcomed members and invited them to sign in at the table where Beryl Cook,our reunion secretary and Carolyn Walker greeted them.The weather was rather dull with some drizzle but our members were not deterred by this. Lively chat and happy greetings were exchanged as over 100 ex-Lady Mabel students met for coffee before the AGM. |

This proved to be a very interesting meeting bringing up,apart from the usual reports from the officers,discussions concerning the Constitution and a proposed window in Wentworth Church. A small gift was distributed to members from the 1958 year leavers to celebrate their 50 years as members. Last year the 1956 membership gave each member a bottle of Wentworth Estate local water. The meeting concluded at 12.15p.m. and members gathered in the Fitzwilliam Room and the Barn for drinks before luncheon at 1.45p.m. John Raw, the new manager of "The Rockingham Arms",and his staff provided us with an excellent buffet lunch,catering for various dietary requirements,followed by coffee. |

It
was a very pleasant,well-organized meal. Our afternoon was left free for members
to catch up with old friends and talk to our new President and Vice President.
Tea was served from 4p.m. when raffle prizes are collected, fond farewells taken
and promises made to return next year. This was another happy successful reunion,enjoyed
by all. (Click here for more reunion photographs.) Next
year, 2009, will be very special, our 60th anniversary. If you are an ex-Lady
Mabel College student and would like to join us, contact the secretary who will
