2)
Do you favour a gala dinner of the kind held in 2014?
Yes
No
The gala dinner was held at Mount Edgecombe Country Club. It included drinks (wine and soft drinks), music, flowers and table decorations, food, photographer, goodie bags including "Wrinkles" labelled bottles of SA wine, a book mark, poem by Rozanne Baker (nee Language), an embroidered Class of 1964 golf shirt, and horse fly sweets. Speeches included those by Barry Richards and a candle-lit tribute to each classmate who has died, orchestrated by Rozanne Language (whose brother, Hilton was our first deceased member). This splendid event was heavily subsidized by members and cost each attendee (except the few honoured guests) around R350. Next year it is possible that the "tickets" will be around R500 per head.

Yes
No
In 2014 a group of 12 spent 3 enjoyable nights at Cathedral Peak Hotel. Some stayed longer. Although this was a wonderful experience, it was no substitute for the main events at the school or the gala dinner. It is nevertheless worth considering and is relatively easy to organize.
