ON behalf of the organising committee may I thank everyone who was in any way connected with or attended, the Marlborough Schools Reunion on September 30.

The afternoon started with a session of bell ringing by a team comprised of ex-teachers and old students, some of whom had come from America specifically to take part.

The church service that followed in St Mary's was a beautifully moving affair, attended by hundreds of people who crammed into the church and the church hall where a relay was laid on.

Dispersing to various venues after the service, many enjoyed an afternoon of renewing old acquaintances and reminiscing about school days. Later in the evening, groups did their own thing to round off a truly memorable day.

A never to be forgotten occasion surpassed all expectations, what a day. Thank you, one and all.
