Davenhill Anniversary


Thanks to everybody who attended the Aintree Davenhill Golden Jubilee and Reunion Celebration which turned out to be a great success. Interest was shown by ex-pupils from all over this country and from as far away as Australia in the form of Cliff Cannel and Gary Ingram who, due to this website, found they were living about 500 yards from each other in Perth. Two other ex-pupils now living in Australia actually turned up on the day, although it was just a coincidence that they were in this country at the time.
One of the first arrivals when the doors opened at 12 noon was ex Head Mr Hugh Vickers. He s tayed for some time and thoroughly enjoyed his visit. Another ex Head, Mr Mike Jones and his wife Wendy also attended.
Mrs Parker put on an excellent display of old photographs for every one to reminisce about. As the day wore on hundreds of people passed through the school and at one stage there was very little room to move in the main corridor.
The photographs were then moved to Bleasdale Hall for the evening entertainment, which proved to be a sellout. Lots of fond memories were exchanged and a good time was had by one and all. At the end of the night a group photo was taken.
Great memories, here is to the next fifty.
