The reunion held on 3rd July 2010 at Toulston was a great success. Despite counter attractions such as Wimbledon, World Cup football and the Copmanthorpe carnival there was a good attendance of well over 100 former students. Though the attendance was not, by any means, the highest on record, the general feeling was that there was a particularly warm and friendly atmosphere. It was a beautiful Summer afternoon and visitors were allowed to see Toulston at its best. The highlight of the afternoon was the welcome and talk given by Headteacher Geoff Mitchell.
Since the school was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the school’s move to Toulston members were able to see a scaled down version of the exhibition of school history and memorabilia which TGSOSA put on in 2007. This latest presentation was put on earlier than planned so that members were able to see it. For this we are indebted to the school librarian, Valerie Brett, who mounted the exhibition.
On previous occasions we have engaged outside caterers to provide refreshments and bar facilities but unfortunately they have not found it to be sufficiently profitable. Our small committee is usually too busy at reunions to man the facilities but thanks to Richard Sweeting(bar) and Inge Ellis and her husband Brian (teas) we managed to supply the refreshments and even make a small profit.
