Bristol CQSW Graduation Years 1972-76 Reunion


The Hawthorns, Clifton, on 6th April 2002

 

 

Encouraged to organise a reunion of those of us who graduated from the Bristol CQSW Studies/Training Course in the early 70s, I responded to the challenge. With apologies coming in from afar as Perth, Australia (Claire Jones) and Kalamata in Greece (Allen Brown), it was a real tribute to the event to have Pauline and Peter Bibby travelling form Vancouver to be with us. Thanks to you, good folks.

 

A toast was proposed by me to “present company and absent friends”, whilst Pauline made hers to Chris Holtom and his former staff. Chris’ response was witty and informative. Toasts to the alumni of each year were proposed by members of those years. Prizes went to: Pauline Bibby for “action beyond the call of duty”; to Zina Wakefield for manifesting semblance of eternal youth; and to Chrissie Savage for clearly discerning the dress code of the evening – “smart casual”).

 

Ironically, Chris Holtom won the raffle conducted in “Cornish” style by Steve & Hazel Perry. Auld Lang Syne was sung at the end, but despite having a bar extension, it was obvious at the end that very few wanted to leave. All had an enjoyable weekend – with John Teller leading one of many “thank you” to “moi” on behalf of the 52 persons in attendance.
