Centenary Dinner & Golf Competition

The dinner went very well and we want to thank everyone who made it to the dinner and also to those who wanted to but, for various reasons, couldn't.
We ended up with 190 on the night after a few last-minute dropouts - mainly for health reasons and I believe all are now recovering.

We opened the room at 6.30 as we had a second bar exclusively for our use.

We had arranged entertainment for the evening and former college student Nick Martland did a splendid job with his vocals for 45 minutes prior to seating.

In the room we had a few items of memorabilia for people to peruse - remember, many items are in the exhibition at the Atkinson (which runs until November 13th).

All the school photos we have were in binders - sport, plays, prefects etc - thanks to the efforts of Stan Rimmer and John Rostron a few years ago in scanning them in.

We sat at 7.30 with our special guest, the Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside, accompanying the Chair and President.

Nick sang again for us for 20 minutes over dessert and the raffle sales. Nick was a one off for us as this was a special event and next April he will be busy in the Caribbean as a cruise director!

Dave Harrison and Michelle Brabner delivered interesting speeches, well aimed at the audience, for the Chair and Presidential contributions.

Brian Viner then entertained us with his anecdotes of both school life and his many encounters with celebrities in this role as a senior (and very successful may I add) journalist.
The raffle prizes were distributed and official farewells made and then most disappeared into huddles to drink and chat until after midnight.

We made £1500 on the night for Queens Court Hospice. The donation page is still open if anyone else wishes to contribute.
