The closing date for tickets is 1st July, 2011 this is in order that we can give final numbers to our venue for seating and menu purposes.
Tickets will be issued on receipt of your cheque (made payable to 'Whittlebury Park', only). These cheques can be 'post dated' so they clear no later than 1st July 2011.
Tickets are at present being printed and will be distributed to those that have paid as soon as possible.
Due to the size of the venue and probably the fact that there will be much 'reminscing', it is felt that this event should be restricted to 'old boys' and 'teachers' who attended the school. I hope this will not offend wifes and partners, but stories about the 'the lake', 'smoking', 'matron' 'Fret' etc etc. will probably be rather boring for them. If you are staying in the area the Whittlebury Hall Hotel (see below for accommodation) has a well advertised spa and health club. Just a suggestion !!!
When purchasing your tickets please let us have your address or e-mail address and phone number for contact purposes. Please also let us know the years you attended the school so that we can endeavour to seat contemporaries together.
For those wanting to stay, the Whittlebury Park has limited accommodation, but there is a large hotel - Whittlebury Hall Hotel, within the grounds.
Finally, and most importantly, I would ask you to tell any 'old boys' you know about the reunion and direct them to one of us for details and tickets.
Hope you are able to attend and look forward to meeting you.
Tim Gaskell
