It was so good to see so many Chiltonians turn out for this our second reunion at Chilton on 18th August, 2012. Numbers were up to 64 spread evenly over 30 years. It was a super effort by everyone who came and especially those travelling from abroad.
We were blessed by fine weather which always helps; Captain maintained that he had a special line upstairs as Chilton always guaranteed good weather when needed on those special occasions.
If we are to continue we will need all the help we can get locating missing old pupils and we would appreciate your help in forwarding any contacts you may have for our database. Get in touch. At present we have only 110 on our list.
My special thanks go to the Rev. Michael Hayes and the organist and, of course, Dr John Price and his P.A. Myra Helps. Without them this very special day could not have happened. Thank you all for coming.
Clive and I look forward to meeting you all in the not too distant future.
