Hi everyone….

A change of date to assist those coming long distances. We have moved it out of school holiday season. So for the foreseeable future the Reunions will be in early September. Hope you are all ok! - It’s our 27th Reunion, so here are details for the Reunion this coming year.Meeting at The Roebuck, Wych Cross, Forest Row, Nr Nutley RH18 5JL 01342823811(not far from Wych Cross crossroads, and near the Garden Centre).

 

Feel free to arrive from mid-day onwards at The Roebuck, 200 metres distance south of Wych Cross. We will have an early dinner at the Roebuck around 6ish - - allowing plenty of time for those who have to travel, to get back home. Those who are staying locally, then feel free to join in -we will go to the Red Lion (Chelwood Gate, just a mile form the Roebuck for Sunday Lunch the following day. We will have our statutory 5 minute meeting to discuss this years agenda and vote in the Committee. Peter Waterman (Chairman) –Terry Paremain (Treasurer).

 

The Agenda will be available at the meeting. If anyone would like to be Secretary, then do let one of us know on the day – don’t all rush !! ha ha Other than the meeting and the evening meal, there is no ‘set’ event for the day, but if at sometime during the afternoon, you wish to go for a walk or drive down to see the old School near Fairwarp/Maresfield, then feel free to do so.

 

The Old School has seen some big changes, and is about to see some more as, the Main Building at Woodlands is up for Sale at present, but the Golden Oak is still standing. To visit the Golden Oak there is a public footpath a little further up the lane from St John’s Cottage that leads down to the field adjacent to the field where the Gym was, with access to the river you all know at the bottom. Lunches & Snacks are served from midday at the Roebuck –you are free to order and eat as you please. You are also free to stay at the Roebuck through the afternoon to pour through the photograph albums, or join those who wish to go for a wander…..It’s a great opportunity to have a fun day together, to catch up and also to go through the many photos that have been so painstakingly put together for us by Terry.

 

We would like a recent photo of each and every one of you for the Album. There will also be a Group Photo taken after the Meeting. If you have any photos from Woodlands and Rock’s House time, then do bring them along. I can take a copy of them with my iPhone. Some of the Old boys including Kenny Waterman and John Childs have written some of their memories of their time and of the old boys and we would like to ask everyone to do the same before we all go senile! Thanks !As already mentioned, if you see this on the Woodlands Web Site and have not had a call from us, then do call me or use the email address on the Woodlands Web Site (www.woodlandsschool.net). Your welcome to just turn up.

 

If you move house, please send us your change of address/email/telephone number, or we cannot contact you. One additional contact for you would be helpful, just in case you move. So do keep us up to date !!Wives, partners and family are always very welcome, it’s always great to see the families too! Please bring any old photos (or copies) you may have from the Woodland’s days, to go in our photo albums, We keep two separate copies of photos- Just in case of earthquake, wind and fire!

 

On a final note, Peter (Chairman), Terry (Treasurer) (Secretary position vacant) and me, hope as many of you can come along as possible for the Reunion, it’s always great to get together, even if it is only once a year !
