Poole Grammar Old Boys Reunion Site....

The 2005 PGS re-union

I can't believe that anyone who came to the 2005 re-union could have had anything but a wonderful time.  I did nothing towards the event - Danny did it all - and I attended with some trepidation, believing that I would know no-one, or that I would remember some guys but they would not have the foggiest idea who I was.  It was all going to be just too embarrassing, and too awful.  I came with my laptop, and was ready to go back to my hotel room after half an hour and get on with writing The Personality Shop - a novel about a school re-union (honest!).

In fact I struggled to recognise faces (I've always been bad at that) but Danny had given us all name-badges, and the name-recognition hit as I met one old mate after another.  It was the most extraordinary feeling.

For me it was the first time I had met these friends in 40 years, and the first time I had been in Poole in over 30 years.  These pictures are a memento of that evening, and this web site is just a tiny way of saying to Danny, thank you for taking the trouble of doing it all.

I loved that night.  Danny, I owe you for all that you did.  In fact, I think quite a few of us owe you for a really great evening.
