Framingham Earl High School 50th Anniversary

I was contacted by Framingham Earl High School some time ago about their 50th anniversary this year. They're having a day of celebrations on Saturday October 10th and asked us if we would like to make an appearance seeing as Mini is celebrating the same birthday this year. Some details of the day can be found here.

I've yet to get back in touch with them but I'm guessing it'll be the usual set up. So who's up for going back to school? It happens to be my old high school (and my mum's!) so I'll be going. I know a few people have mentioned they'd be interested too, so how about a show of (cyber) hands?

So far:
1. Keith.
2. ?

I've just heard from Emma Appleby and she's going to come along with her '59 (as long as it starts ok!) and I'm going to give Ron a call to see if he and Sue can make it too.

Any more takers?

Would have liked to attend but we have family coming down from Aberdeen that weekend

Just spoken to Ron and he and Sue and their friends are going to come.

I suggest we meet at Tuckswood McDonalds on Hall Road (Mmmm... Bacon & Egg McMuffin!) at 10am on the Saturday and make our way from there as it's only a short drive out of the city.

So far:
1. Keith.
2. Gumball crew

4. Emma
5. Ron & Sue

Just looked on the calender to see if i a doing anything???

Don't seem to be and it might be a good run out...

So you can count me in...

I'll be going to this one...

Lovely jubbly, I'm going to find it weird driving through my old school playground!

Highlight of the day looks like it might be the digging up of a time capsule buried 25 years ago and the burying of a new one!

No, I'm just a nosey b4stard.

Gails a yes for this show.

Excellent. So we have a nice selection of Minis through the ages to show off.

Just to confirm what I said last night at the meeting, we're going to meet up at Tuckswood McDonalds at 9:45am, grab a McMuffin or two and head off to Fram at 10 to arrive for about 10:15.

Craig - can you email Gail these details please?

Postcode for McDonalds is NR1 2RT

will do.

Emma mailed me back to say she's worried her '59 might not start!

Hi all,
Unfortuantly I'm not going to be able to make it to this one now,
as I need to do some work on my car tommorow (exhaust and engine mounts)

What happened to you lot eh? Bu66ered off leaving me on my own???


Seriously though, thanks for coming along for the time that you did, I'm sure watching paint dry would have had genuine appeal by the time you went. Very interesting for me on the other hand, caught up with several old school pals who I haven't seen in nearly 20 years.

How was the day then? Hope you returned all those overdue libary books Keith??

I had to take my father to Stanstead airport in the Jaguar.
When I got there I had to search for a parking space in the short stay car park. There were plenty of empty disabled spaces of course. But I couldn't use them, despite my father now being 80 years old. Sorry I'm in danger of going into rant mode !!!!
