Fabulous Fours Reunited

Withington alumnae from the Classes of 1974, 1984, 1994, 2004 and 2014 returned to school last Saturday for our Decades Reunion. For some it was their first time visiting WGS since leaving school.

Alumnae were keen to share all their news with each other and the conversation flowed readily from arrival to final departure. Following a welcome from Mrs Haslam and a toast to the ‘Fabulous Fours’, there was a wonderful display of musical talent from four current pupils. Conversation then resumed over lunch. Many photos were taken, with many old photos also being shown around. Another highlight of the day for many was the tour of the school in the afternoon, with alumnae rediscovering old haunts and bringing to mind many memories of their time at Withington.

As one alumna from 1984 said, “We all seemed to take off from where we were 40 years ago, with those intervening four decades vanishing in seconds. The incredibly loud chatter in the room was a testament to the success of the reunion.’

Next year’s Decades Reunion will take place on Saturday 20th September for anyone who left Withington in a year ending in a five.
