Elmers Court School Reunion, Lymington, England

Elmers Court

Helen attended Elmers Court School from age five to eleven. In September they are having their first ever reunion. This post is to help folks connect and find their way back.

It should be a peak experience and I know that Helen is looking forward to seeing all those who shared the Elmers Court childhood experience.

The Reunion day for Bronze plaque and tea is Sunday, September 13th, 2009.

Helen’s email address is: ASINAC@aol.com and she would be happy to help you get connected. Send her a note.

And… I just read the comments by Norman Drake, the organizer of the reunion. I am posting them here so you don’t have to go looking around for the details.

Back to Elmers Court Day
Sunday 13th September 2009

Hello and Greetings

With only weeks to go before this, possibly once in a lifetime event is held, I am asking if you will be coming?

We have had a very good response with so far over 40 ‘Old Elmerians’ committed to coming along. Together with their guests that’s nearly 80 and that’s only today’s number. Therefore with folk representing every year, from some of the first boys in 1948 right through to 1981, therefore I’m sure there will be people with whom you will have something in common attending.

As I have set out in the various notes I have posted on the Friends Reunited site there is no cost in attending this get together, for MacDonald Hotels and Resorts are allowing us the use of the lovely Ballroom and also providing a light afternoon tea, all with their compliments. We shall also be unveiling a bronze plaque during the afternoon to leave a tangible reminder of our tenure of the building all those years ago.

If you have put your name on the Elmers Court page of Friends Reunited then that probably indicates that your stay at Lymington meant something to you. Therefore I do invite you to make the most of this wonderful opportunity to catch up in person and enjoy our combined items of memorabilia as well as sharing memories of our good times there.

So why not come along on Sunday the 13th of September and join with us in Celebrating the time spent there in our childhood days? It is shaping up to be a wonderful occasion and it will be made all the more special, if you and perhaps a guest wish to come along.

There is so much more I could write but the decision is yours. If you wish to contact me, you can do so on Friends Reunited or via email drake@aapt.net.au

Together with all the others who will be there, I really do hope you will join with us on what will be very special day in September.
If however, you feel the day will not be for you, as I know that some people didn’t enjoy quite as much happiness during their stay there as others, then of course I quite understand.

However I really look forward to hearing from you if you do plan to come and then meeting you, along with so many others in September. Hope to see you there.

Kind Regards
