e-Newsletter - 13th
September 2007
Dear Old Cambrian,
This is just a very quick newsletter
particularly to highlight two Old Cambrian Society events that are taking place
in the next couple of weeks, and to act as a reminder for those who have not
yet committed themselves to attending.
So, here goes
.............
Reunion - Old
Cambrian Society (South
Africa)
Sunday 23rd
September 2007 - Stonehaven Castle,
Shongweni
Valley, nr. Durban, South
Africa
To date there are 30
or so registrations for the event – still a bit on the slow side, so if
you’re in the area and want to have a great day out catching up with some
old friends, please contact Dave Leslie to book
your tickets. Dave is kindly offering his magnificent property for what
promises to be a truly memorable reunion. It will be held over a long weekend,
so Old Cambrians, you have no excuses. Families welcome as usual at all OCS events.
Dave is putting out a plea for a photo of
the School flag as he wants to replicate it and fly it on the day. Does anyone
have a clear photo (preferably in colour) of the
School flag (with the Impala and motto, etc)? If so, please send a scanned copy
to Dave…………and whilst you’re at it, please copy
me in to it.

reserving your tickets, please click on the following link: http://www.oldcambrians.com/Reunion-Durban2007.html

Report - North American Luncheon
& Weekend, organised by Old Cambrian Society (Canada)
Friday 7th,
Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th September 2007 - Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
What a FANTASTIC weekend
!! ………… I’ve just about recovered
!!
Many thanks to Zahir
Dharsee, Dave Allen and Dave Burn who organized a fabulous weekend …….
golf, a great reunion luncheon, and to crown it all a day out in a yellow
school bus to Niagara Falls and some wine estates!!
For a report and some photos of the
weekend please go to - http://www.oldcambrians.com/Photos-Reunion2007SeptMississauga.html
More photos will be published when time
allows, but it might have to be when I get back from Kenya at the beginning of October.
Elections
Another candidate for Kenya’s parliamentary
elections later this year.
I have been contacted by Mohamed Ali Haji (Marsabit-Scott 1988-91)
- http://www.oldcambrians.com/Alumni-Haji,Mohamed.html - who plans to contest the Wajir South constituency.
It was great meeting everyone in Canada
last weekend at the First North American reunion, and I hope to see lots of Old
Cambrians at the Impala Club, Nairobi on Friday 28th September. I’ll be on holiday in Kenya from
14th Sept to 1st Oct, so if you e-mail me during that
time, it’s unlikely you’ll get an instant reply as I will be in
“relax mode”!! So, apologies in advance.
That's all for now!
