In the year 2000 there will be at least four people, then only forty, who will be able to say "I attended the Reunion in 1961". For the most astonishing feature about recent reunions has been the change in the age groups. There are more and younger children which is a very fine trend indeed. It means more and more parents are retaining their bonds with the Club. | In the year 2000 there will be at least four people, then only forty, who will be able to say "I attended the Reunion in 1961".

- | There -were, however, some notable absences - Edna Garrad, Dorothy Hasluck, the Gilroys, the Crokers, Marion Ellis - to name a few. Some had legitimate excuses but no doubt the weather discouraged others. A storm on Saturday afternoon forced a few to hasten their leisurely erecting of tents.

But the rain held off until some hour in the early morning when, if anyone was caught in it, it served him (or her or them) right. Not only did the rain hold off but the air was warm and still and seemed to me the pleasantest atmospheric conditions for the Reunion for many a long day. | + | There were, however, some notable absences - Edna Garrad, Dorothy Hasluck, the Gilroys, the Crokers, Marion Ellis - to name a few.

We must hand it to tbe organisers - we loafers - they do a mighty job. Sometimes when I feel a little critical I suddenly break out into a lather of shame.
