Over 150 former pupils of JAGS came in for the annual Alumnae Reunion lunch on Saturday 14 May.  The years represented ranged from the Year of 1935 to 2001. 
Many had tables reserved for their year group, and a number of years organised a full year group reunion. Daphne Clayton (Butler) Year of ’51 had her usual table of ‘Jaguars’, whilst the Years of ’58, spearheaded by Hilary Devonshire and Susan Smith (Reynolds) and of ’59, spearheaded by Kathy Audibert (Gowing) fielded very good turn-outs.  The year of ’57 came together very well and very speedily on hearing that Patricia O’Hanlon Smith was coming over from Canada and would be at the lunch. The Year of ’71 did well, (with three Barbara’s and two of them with the surname Lewis!), and together with the years of ’81, spearheaded by Sara Holmes (Skinner) and Jane Ross-MacDonald (Graham-Maw) and ’91, spearheaded by Suzy Masson (Haywood) celebrated whole decades since they left JAGS.

The years of ’84, spearheaded by Dee Charnley (Kennedy) and Sara Luder,  and ’86, spearheded by Diana Havenhand were very well represented.  Georgina Warren from the year of 2001 spearheaded a good number of alumnae as a warm-up for another reunion on Founder’s Day, Saturday 2 July.

The weather was fine, the food was, as always, quite delicious and there was much noise and laughter.  Clearly, a lovely day!

Next year's lunch is on Saturday 12th May 2012.
