Let's have a look around while the committee members finish up their work and the early birds arrive. An energetic and alert Jeff Yuen, smartly dressed as ever, was one of the early birds at the reception and recognized your author immediately. We caught up briefly on 25 years of history while some of these images were made.
A key is provided beneath each photograph where that would help in providing names.
The committee is just getting matters underway. Bruce Parker, Pat Daniel and Donna Bishop are "B", "C" and "D". Derek Hamlet is "E" and "G" appears to be Bob Hall. "A" might be the newly arrived Jeff Yuen, put to work even before he had a chance to remove his jacket!

This is what is above Bob's head. Every one of these particular prints is from your author's collection. New and much improved scans of all of them and many more will appear in the School Life pages.
Tsk! Is that Mr. Hamlet over there sitting down and relaxing already?

Here are Bob's fully unfolded and populated memorabilia panels already being admired by one of the arrivers.

(Most of the prints here were made from the author's collection of negatives. All those negatives have been scanned with superior equipment and all of these images, as electronic "prints" will be encountered later in the School Life pages. August, 2004.)
Up goes the registration sign out front with Pryce-Jones inspired characters from Pat Daniel.
