REUNION
SOCIETY
WHAT THE SOCIETY ISThe Reunion Society provides a forum for students who left Tavistock School 25 years ago or more. The Society meets annually and publishes an annual magazine called 'The Phoenix'. We have an active membership of approximately 250 people representing a wide range of school years. The Society's activity is organised by a committee. Society members pay a fee of £5 per annum. This mainly pays for publication and distribution costs associated with the production of 'The Phoenix'. Part of the pleasure in being a member is simple nostalgia and part is renewing old friendships (and making new ones) with both students and staff. We also hope to increase the liaison with Tavistock College and develop the membership further. This could be done by having a representative for each year, so if you are willing please let us know. For the future, there are possibilities such as placing ' The Phoenix' (current and back issues), history of the school, old 'Speech Day' programmes and even school photographs on the web-site, with your permission of course. WHEN WE MEETWe meet annually in May in Tavistock. We encourage you to organise an additional reunion for your year during the same day or on the following day. 2009 is the 50th Anniversary of the start of the Tavistock Comprehensive School. (The first intake was September 1959). The next reunion of the Association will take place on Saturday 1st May 2010. (May Bank Holiday Weekend). At Tavistock Town Hall, at 7pm. We look forward to seeing as many ex-pupils, who left in 1985 or before, teachers and other staff etc, as possible, (Those who left 25 years ago or more). 'THE PHOENIX''The Phoenix' is your way of sharing your experiences with other ex-students. We ask you to write articles which can take a variety of forms. Some are about what you have done since leaving school, maybe a profile of yourself or your friends, or a poem that captures a memory. 'The Phoenix' has contained many a tale, no doubt embellished in the telling. It has also enabled ex-students to trace friends from the past. And now you can email your article to us!! WHY NOT JOIN US?You can do so by contacting us through the email address: tsr_assoc@yahoo.co.uk giving your name and address and we will contact you.
