Dougie Dalzeill has been reconnoitering possible venues (maybe as a guizer in the Jarl squad?) and has suggested Sound Hall or Lerwick Boating Club. He and Emmie also suggest the second half of August 2017 (after the school holidays) as a good time to hold the reunion. This initiative was Emmie’s onset (good for her!) – and Dougie and Emmie are coordinating the actions so far, and compiling a list of contacts. If you are interested, but have not yet submitted your contact details, get in touch with Dougie and Emmie (click the link to email).
Latest (Feb 17): from Dougie – “After speaking with the secretary of Sound Hall , I have provisionally booked the small Baila Hall for Friday 25th and the main Hall for Saturday 26th August 2017“.
I understand Dougie is going ahead to confirm the booking – so we have dates. Some of us now need to get together (in Shetland) and form an organizing committee – I hope to get that going while I am up here (until late March) so am waiting to hear from anyone who might be interested. Peter Leask has suggested a few venues for an initial meeting but we need a few volunteers. Get in touch.
Late August will suit me. Looking forward to it.Won’t be up to Shetland this year because Mam and Dad will be down to me for a family wedding in Edinburgh.
End of August is ok for me
Good to have a date set for next year. It’ll be amazing to see everyone after all these years!
Yes I would like to come! It will be really good to meet up.
Looking forward to it. Late August is fine for me. Helen Sinclair ( McMillan)
Good to hear you are coming Helen. When you left the AEI you joined my wife’s class at the Aberdeen High School for Girls. She was of course Helen Paul then. She is looking forward to meeting you again on the Saturday night, when she will be with me. Best Wishes…….Colin Stove.
