Toastmaster John Hastings added a little extra help this year, in the shape of a specially-recorded backing track which accompanied group singing of the old Grammar School song Fortitudine.
Guest speaker Peter Lawrence (ex-Scunthorpe) recalled his time at Brigg Grammar from 1964-71 and some of the practices back then which would never be permitted in today's world of education with its focus on health and safety. They including nude swimming in the unheated swimming pool!
Sir John Nelthorpe School headteacher Linda Hewlett-Parker delivered an interesting report on the past year, reflecting on a visit by the Ofsted inspectors and impressive examination results.
Donna Fryer, chairwoman, gave a vote of thanks on behalf of the Association, paying particular tribute to the organisational skills of secretary Barbara Kernon.
Six members of the current sixth form were invited as guests and responded by doing a great job selling raffle tickets to help Association funds.
Next year's dinner has already been arranged by Barbara and will be at Elsham Golf Club on Saturday, March 19, 2011. For further details email kernon@homecroft2002.freeserve.co.uk
We have supplied many more 'round-the-table' pictures to that famed glossy magazine, The Lincolnshire Journal, and hope some will be featured in a future edition.
