Re union

Thank you to Paul and Caron for organising everything. Good to see people there that I haven’t seen for 16-25years!

Another fine do!

Another year and another reunion. A very successful event. Already several people are saying that they hope to come along to another one next year.

The venue and format seem to work, however, if you have any comments or suggestions please let either Caron or Paul know.

If anyone has pictures of other events that were held at Courtaulds plc, Christmas Parties, Summer Parties, any ephemera from the company we’d like to hear from you.

Thank you again to everyone who came last night and for the good wishes.
