It seems that for all of those who were part of the Penrhos College reunion this weekend their school days really were some of the best days of their lives. Even the rather chilly Welsh Weather didn’t damped their spirits as they ate their picnic on what used to be their hockey pitch.

Later in the afternoon we were delighted to welcome them into the Ferguson Centre where our archivist had displayed photos, drawings, copies of school magazines and, one of the most treasured items in our archive, the Centenary quilt, where many of those in attendance were able to find their carefully embroidered name.

It was wonderful to listen to the stories and see old friends meeting up to share their memories of such a wonderful school. Hopefully we can make this an annual event.
