Numbers are slightly down on 2011 with 150 attending and whilst some familiar faces are missing it is lovely to see new ones. Our membership continues to grow and this opportunity to catch up with colleagues makes for some very pleasant and interesting meetings. One colleague, attending the reunion for the first time wrote:
“First of all many congratulations on a super do. Brilliant – I was a bit nervous about coming but very glad I did! Had a good time down the pub afterwards too and will definitely come next year.”
Not all members have a trouble free journey to and from the venue. One member arriving a little late due to the sole of his right shoe coming away from the upper when he alights from the train at Charing Cross Station. The cobbler declares that it will be a 24 hour repair job but our member explains his predicament and a quick fix is managed. Well you would have thought that was enough but when our gentleman arrived back home he sent the following message.
“My left sole, in sympathy with the right one, parted company with the top of my shoe within two minutes of my leaving the building. As luck would have it there was a Rymans shop just along and I was able to buy 3 tubes of strong mastic. I made it home anyway…”
Another member walked the streets of London wearing what he described as his SCARA Livestock Tag. A reminder to you all to leave your name badge in the box by the door when you leave.
