Following the success of last year's Potters Bar Reunion, 26th November 2005 will provide another opportunity for you to be sworn at and generally abused by belligerent ex 'Potters Bar' bar staff, whilst catching up with old friends in the original building, with original music from the juke box.

It may seem early mentioning this event in July but I want to allow enough time for the news to propagate. It was good to see so many of you there last year! The event was a huge success but there were a few that would have liked to have come but did not find out about it until afterwards. I would like to make sure that as many people as possible can attend the 2005 event, so if you see this and know an ex-Potters Bar regular who does not have access to the internet, please pass the information on.

Thanks and hope to see you there! More information will follow, with regular articles and embarrassing photographs as the event approaches.

A table sale was held at The Chestnuts on Saturday, during which Ray Smith, Chairman of the home was presented with a cheque for £1,169 by Dorrie Blockley of the 'Friends of the Chestnuts'. The money will be used to pay for a bed and a Christmas dinner for residents of the home.

Friends of the Chestnuts disbanded recently and the cheque was the closing balance of the Friends' bank account. In the photograph are Frank Hammond, Dorrie Blockley, Aileen Howls, Rose Dean, Audrey Hammond and Ray Smith.

Teachers and pupils of Goodrich Primary School held a Summer Concert on Thursday, 14th July. The whole school was involved and a collection of summer songs were enjoyed by parents, including songs from the Caribbean, songs by the Beach Boys and Summer Holiday.
