Past Pupils Reunion - Murree

A couple of past pupils, from the boarding school days in Murree, decided it was time they had a reunion. 

In a very short space of time they organised it.  What a celebration it turned out to be!

 

Over 120 past students attended from 'Year of 1967' to 'Year of 2007'. 

2007 was the last year for boarders.  Then they had a yearly roll of 180 compared with the day-school roll today of roughly 900.  

The 'girls' were dropped off by their drivers.






Registration took place on the area outside the Principal's office.

 

 The lunch was catered for by outside caterers.  Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the long table filled with silver tureens of spicy foods and delicious breads and desserts.  I had taken so many photos that morning that the battery in my phone had died.  Gr r r r!  That happens from time to time. 

Afternoon tea was provided for by the 'girls' themselves, much like what's done in New Zealand with our 'bring a plate'.  There were lots of specialty pasteries and sweets to enjoy.

 

I made several new friends that weekend ... and now have good contacts should I ever need a lawyer while in Pakistan ... or have a need to apply for another entry visa!!!!

 

The evening ended with a bonfire.  The workers prepared it on the volleyball court in such a way that it did no damage to the surface of the court.  I've got my fingers crossed that the videos will play when I post them.

 

No! I published the blog, quickly checked it and then took it down again as, sadly, the videos didn't play.
