Nick Acons (SH 58-63) writes: “Three years ago a small reunion was held at the Bear Hotel, Woodstock, and for some of us it was the first time we had met up since leaving St Bees in 1963. It was a great success, and so it was decided to hold another reunion to mark 50 years on. Somehow, I was detailed (thanks PJ!) to organize the gathering. Fortunately, staff at the Bear Hotel had either forgiven or forgotten us and so it was again the venue. Unfortunately, some of the original group could not make it (C. Milburn, P. J. Dixon, J. Cade, M. Dawson) but this time Chris Greetham, flying in from Barbados, made the start time! Stories abounded, including several about those who were absent, and many centred around rugby and the refreshment stops in Keswick (the Red Lion!) on our return from away fixtures. I am sure that those who have held similar reunions will agree, the passing of time does not erode friendships made at St Bees. It was as if it were yesterday!”
