Blaisdon AGM and Reunion

Sunday August 24th 2003

The 2003 Blaisdon Past Pupils was a most memorable and enjoyable event. The Village Hall was filled to capacity and some were eating outside in the glorious weather. One Past Pupil, Alastair Bourne, came all the way from New Zealand and we were delighted to have him with us.

The event was unique because we were privileged also to have with us Jim Richards, Director of the Catholic Children's Society (Westminster), formerly The Crusade of Rescue, and his wife. We again had some Past Pupils from St Joseph's, Enfield, who did not move on the Blaisdon. As if that wasn't special enough we also had some lady Past Pupils from St Anthony's and St Vincent's, Feltham, also Crusade of Rescue Homes at the time of St Joseph's.

It seems the Blaisdon Family is growing ever wider and all the better for it! The ladies from Feltham have invited us as their guests to their Reunion on 13 June 2004 at St Vincent's, 73 Carlisle Place, off Victoria Street in London.
