ARBORFIELD
OLD BOYS ASSOCIATION 51st REUNION.
ALREWAS -
Friday 18th July to Sunday 20th July 2014 inclusive.
The following
report contributed by Trevor STUBBERFIELD (52A) Photographic
contributions as attributed. Photos included in this report remain the Copyright
© of Max WARWICK 49B (MW) and Trevor
STUBBERFIELD 52A (TS) and should not be copied without the
express permission of the owners. ________________________________________________________________________________ Preamble Readers of previous reunion
reports, here on the 49ers web site, will know that this diary of the 51st
Arborfield Old Boy’s Association Reunion is not official, nor is it formal or
factual. It’s just one Old Boy’s
personal view of the weekend, written for friends who couldn’t attend, to
give them a feeling of the occasion.
More actual and factual reports will be found on the Arborfield
Old Boys Association Web Site, and in the AOBA magazine OBAN,
along with many more photographs. Here would be a good place to
acknowledge all the hard work put in by the members of the AOBA Committee,
without which these reunions just wouldn’t happen and to record a well
deserved vote of thanks. A special vote of thanks goes
to September 49er Max Warwick. For
many years now, Max has been recording events relating to Arborfield and the
A.O.B.A. He makes his photographs freely
available to us all so that, here on the 49ers site, we can expand our
archive of Arborfield life which is available to anybody who has an interest
in it. On this web site the principle
we try to stick to is ‘A photo with no information remains just a photo, but
a photo with the who, when, where and why added becomes a record of our life
at Arborfield’. In the following
presentation we have the when, where and why elements but we need the names
and their intakes. If you can help,
please contact The Editor with any
information you can add, with the photo number it applies to. It will be much appreciated in the years to
come. Unfortunately, this year the
review is again somewhat truncated.
‘The Editor’ had to cut short his visit, so much of the added
information is hearsay. The story is
mainly told by the photographs. Should
any information be forthcoming from contributors, the article will be updated
with the new material on a rolling basis.
