HOBA Reunion Dinner and AGM |
| Forty-two Old Heathens gathered for the September 2009 reunion dinner and enjoyed a tremendous night. Old Boys and teachers that schooled in the 30's right up to the more recent 80's vintage enjoyed the evening's festivities, which included a superb five-course banquet. |
| The Menu consisted of: |
| John Favour's tomato & basil soup The Walter Swale Rump Steak & chasseur sauce Albert Crosby's apple and blackberry pie John T Bunch cheese board extravaganza Owen Byrde's percolated coffee. |
| With chairman Mick Hynes holidaying abroad it was down to Jim Farrell to run the show in his usual cutting and humorous fashion. Jon Hamer's 'heads n tails' produced wins for Keith Fawthrop and Ollie Scholefield who both left with a glittering array of quality items. As the Old Boy's settled down Human Resources Consultancy Director Mike Burnitt (Heath78-84) entertained the masses with his memories of Heath, detention slips included! |
| Following the speeches Old Boys mingled, continued drinking and reminisced with memories of joy and woe across the decades well into the night. |
| For those still there at 1am the traditional 'cardboard box versus hamstrings' game was played with Phil Stollery eventually winning a handsome sum just pipping the likes of Innes, Wasyliw and Morley. |
| Those attending the 2009 Dinner included: |
| Ian Freeman, Jim Farrell, Michael Bingham, Ian Hamer, John Davey, Paul Goulden, Harry Brearley, David Stoker, Jon Hamer, Mike Orlic, Keith Fawthrop, John Wasyliw, John Bunch, John Russell, David Bottomley, Craig Morley, Keith McDonald, Paul Innes, Brian Holloway, Mike Burnitt, Walter Shackleton, John Charnock, Tony Edwards, Rob Stollery Gordon Stansfield, Dave Stollery, Paul Keenan, Phil Stollery, Alan Brearley, Heath Riley, Rod Eastwood, Ollie Scholefield, JR Hudson, Russell Smith, Graham Smith, David Wilson, David North, Jim Law, Alan Robinson, John Lassey. |
