Do we know how many from the Forum will be there? I have persuaded my son to work for me on the Sunday and have got cover for the Monday so will be driving down on the Sunday and no doubt be ready for my tea when I get there!

Go on then girls (and boys). Answer Katharine! I am going to Horsham on 30th August to see who has signed up altogether for 16 September, and to take contact information for those who want to sing in the choir (about 40 so far...) so that I can send them details of what they might prepare, should they be so inclined...
We will all recognise Josh (though he might rather we didn't) so if he has a blond person in tow we can jump on that person and say HELLO GEMMA! How cringingly embarrassing will be if we get that wrong!

Gemma is definitely the Gemma in her picture - I can vouch for that.

The Memorial Service does not appear in the school calendar, however.

No risk of that, Kerren! Remember that Gemma has tiny tiny feet. If in doubt about the blonde Josh companion, drop your hanky and check it out!

Size 3 1/2 is perfectly respectable.

But they are impossible to buy shoes for!. You should have seen the hassle I went through to find acceptable school shoes for CH. It was a nightmare. :cry:

Oh, but now you've found a source...?

It amazed me that your old school didn't allow shoes with laces!

I believe that if you're arrested, the cops take your laces from your shoes?

Love the pic of you in The Uniform, anyway - looked great.

Thanks :).

I finally found a pair of lace up kickers in a shop I can't remember the name of down Oxford Street. I wish there were more shoes in my size but alas!. It isn't to be so.

It does, Janet. It appears as Evensong (Memorial to Miss West) - 5.00 pm.

Admittedly, this hardly makes it stand out as a special event.....
