Quarrendon School Class of 1976 set for reunion

The reunion will take place on Saturday March 14.

The event has been organised by Jane Cheney, David Edwards, Bradley Bowey, Neil Hrycyszyn and John Record.

John Record, who helps organise the event said: "We've been meeting every year since 1994 after a chance meeting between David Edwards and Bradley Bowey, who bumped into each other in Kingsbury Square many years ago.

"The first meet took place at the Quarrendon School when we were all about 35."

The Class of 1976 was a huge year, with 210 pupils.

John has worked hard over the years to track down Quarrendon Alumni, and has managed to trace 190 ex-pupils.

John added: "We got a huge turnout of nearly 160 at our first meet in 1994 - but mainly because you used to be able to look people up in the phone book.

"Data protection laws have made it much more difficult for us to track down people.

"We're now all spread out across the globe, so it's amazing people are making the effort to come back."

This is the fourth reunion being held since 1994.

John has also been trying to locate some of the old teachers at the school, and has had some success.

"We've found Adrian Lester, our art teacher and also Rod Wall, our French teacher. We've got a few more irons in the fire and hopefully can get a few more of the teachers down on the night.

"It will just be a lovely chance to catch up with some old friends, I couldn't recommend it more.

"The Holiday Inn will also be offering discounts to people who are looking to have a drink or coming from a long way so they can stay over

"It would be great to see and catch up with you all."

There will be a hot and cold buffet available. People who attended the fifth year at Quarrendon School during 1975-1976 will all be turning 60 this year, and organisers have appealed for anyone who is thinking about attending to get in touch.
