2001 Cricket Reunion February 2021

What a great day...
    by Rachel Wenham

We started 2021 by hosting the 2001 Cricket Tour reunion mid-February, the boys attended assembly, took a school tour then played cricket against a Rectors XI while enjoying a grazing table lunch from the cricket pavilion. Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Truter officiated as umpires for the match, they were the Tour officials. In 2001 this tour was marked as the tour group which experienced food poisoning and on arrival in Cape Town from Singapore many of the tour party were admitted to hospital.

After the Friday cricket match the reunion boys celebrated at dinner in the College House function room, also being joined by the 3rd Form Dean of the time Mr. Joe Schmidt. Lots of reminiscing, they had a great time back at school.
