Dear Old Girl   

On behalf of the Committee, I am pleased to invite you to the Old Girls’ Annual Re-union, which as always takes place the weekend after Easter, over the weekend of 7th/8th April, 2018.

We have again booked at the Filey Golf Club for lunch. Directions how to get to the Golf Club are at the bottom of the reply sheet for anyone who hasn’t been before; there is plenty of parking space and a lift at the Club for anyone who finds stairs difficult.  It would be appreciated if car drivers with a spare seat could offer a lift from the Evron Centre to the Golf Club to anyone without a car.  Please note that there are no parking spaces at the Evron Centre, but plenty of on-street parking nearby.

It makes it easier if we can pre-book our choices from the menu. Please circle your preferred choice for each of the three courses on the reply slip.  I will keep a record of your request and make place names to remind you on the day.  The cost will be the same as last year, £17.50 for the three courses with tea or coffee, and includes hire of the Evron Centre and morning coffee.

We would also like to invite you to join us at the Bella Italia Ristorante, Mitford Street, Filey on Saturday evening at 7.00 pm for an informal meal.  This is a family run Italian restaurant and there is a good choice of menu - please let me know on the reply slip enclosed if you wish to join us.   

The programme for the weekend will take the usual format:

Saturday evening      6.00 pm.         Mass at St Mary’s Church                   

                                  7.00 pm          Informal get together at Bella Italia Ristorante.

Sunday           From 10.00 am         Coffee / tea served at The Evron Centre;

                                 10.30am          Mass at St Mary’s Church         

                                 10.30 am         Holy Communion at St Oswald’s Church

                                 11.45 am         AGM and news of the Sisters at The Evron Centre

                                   1.45 pm.        Lunch at Filey Golf Club

It would be appreciated if you could reply by email by 24th March 2018 to fcoga@btinternet.com

Although the Reunion invitations are sent to members by post, we do try to send out as many Newsletters as possible by email in order to save on postage, so if you have an email address, please put that on the reply slip so that I can update the address database.  The Newsletter which goes out after the Reunion is also published on our blogs (see the addresses at the top of this letter and have a look at the photographs and news on the blogs).     Whether you can attend the Re-union or not, if you have any news for the Newsletter, please enclose it with your reply – we’re always pleased to hear from you!

We do hope that you will be able to come to the Re-union – look forward to seeing you and hope that Filey is blessed with sunshine that weekend.  Incidentally, did you realise that it’s 50 years this year since the school closed in 1968 – who would have thought the Old Girls would still be meeting there 50 years later?  Quite an achievement!

Yours sincerely,       Ann Reed (nee Baxter)    (on behalf of the Committee)
