evacuees

The seventh Reunion of War Time Colfeians was held on Friday 18th September 2009 at 12.00pm at the Beacon Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells. 30 wartime Colfeians and their partners assembled at this beautiful setting overlooking the countryside. After pre-lunch drinks, guests enjoyed a superb buffet at which the Headmaster, Richard Russell warmly greeted them. Some had travelled long distances from Liverpool and the Midlands but none further than Brian Fenoulhet from Canada. This meeting coincided with the 70th anniversary of the evacuation from London. All agreed that it was a most pleasant occasion and should be repeated next year in Frome.
