Binley Park Pupils of 71/76.
25th Leaving Anniversary Reunion.

The reunion took place on Saturday 14th July 2001, at St. Bartholomew's Church Hall, Binley, just yards from the site of the School.

Many met up first in the Binley Park Inn, a Binley Park watering hole in it's 'Craven Arms' days, and then crossed the road to join in.

There were many compliments about the event, with requests already for an Annual repeat.

The following people attended - if I missed anyone, please let me know.

James Ashby, Lesley Billington (Nee Anderson), Rob Boston, Ken Croft, Mandy Davies (Nee Brookes), Kam Dhillon, Jackie Domingue (Nee Shufflebotham), Jackie Essex (Nee Taylor), Jeannette Essex (Nee Taylor), Jane Evans (Nee Sutton), Teresa Fagan (Nee Jarecki), Dave Gardiner, Carl Garrood, Neil Grantham, Paul Haines, Tim Harris, Mark Hitchcox, Debi Jeffree (Nee Haywood), Colin Knight, Clive Knocker, Sue Lanigan, Mick Lillis, Steve Lloyd, Stuart McKellar, Andrew Marchi, Margaret Maughan, George McCluskey, Sandra McCluskey (Nee Brown), Judith McManus ( Bateman), Jeff Moore, Liz Moore, Clive Morton, Suresh Munyal, Karen Oliver, Cheryl Paczynski (Nee Gammon), Wendy Parker, Cathy Pickles (Nee Page), Derrick Rebbeck, Neil Rider, Karl Smith, Gaynor Thomas (Nee Burrows), Petra Tripass (Nee Roberts), Phil Veasey, Neil Watson, Roger Westall, Steve Wilkinson, Jenny Wright (Nee Maughan).

Grant Smaldon made it to Coventry, but had to return home. Dan Hogan had intended to come, but a mountain of problems prevented him getting to Coventry.

I hope you all enjoyed the event as much as I did, although I have to say I didn't sleep too well that night, thoughts of 25 years ago buzzing around my head, something echoed by Derrick and Roger.

I've finally had to resign myself to never seeing the other set of pictures again, lost at Kodak's Laboratory. It is a huge disappointment. If you have any pictures from the day, that show people not included below, please let me know. 

Thank-you to Gaynor for the two additions I've added.
