Update from the working group 01 August 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi everyone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that on our last visit to Dean Academy we arranged a wet weather alternative entrance, which is actually better than our original way in !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whatever the weather we shall now be using the “Library room” ,which is shown as “L” on the revised plan attached<\/strong>, (plan is above<\/strong>) for the signing in welcome process & badges etc etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is simply 5 yards to the right of your pathway as you walk along on the way in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has counters & desks for signing the attendance sheet, picking up pre-written badges & having new badges made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian James & Geoff Capps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update from the working group – 26 July 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to clarify some questions, this day is open to everyone, whether ex-pupils of LGS or not & other than payments for food & drink there will be no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Site Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Above is a plan of the school site & car park to help you find your way around on the \u201cbig day\u201d of Saturday 5 August when the school will be open for our exhibition from 11.00am to 4.00pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having parked your car, come in to the school between the new gym & science block \u201cD\u201d, follow the path and carry on straight forward to the \u201cwelcome area\u201d by the side of the restaurant block \u201cC\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendance Sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There will be a designated place where everyone can put your name & details on the \u201cattendance sheet\u201d since we would like to have a record of everyone who came on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name Badges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are assuming that those of you who have booked & paid for afternoon teas will definitely be coming on the day so we have already written up badges with names etc waiting for you to collect under the permanent awning .
This should speed things up as you arrive.
For everyone else without a badge already filled in, please give your details to the welcome committee who will produce your badge for you.

At this stage we should say that we thought that these readily visible name badges on lanyards would be a great help when chatting to each other \u2013 possibly avoiding any embarrassment in not recognising old colleagues some 50 years or more later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the exhibition will be in the Exhibition Hall shown \u201cA\u201d on your site map & there will also be a \u201cphotographic loop\u201d showing a selection of photos of past days in the \u201cAudio Visual room\u201d labelled \u201cE\u201d on the map.
Two science labs in building \u201cD\u201d will also be open for a brief look between 12.30pm to 1.30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pillowell Band<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are very fortunate to have the Pillowell Silver Band who will be playing near the restaurant block between 12.30 & 1.30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afternoon Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who have pre-paid for the \u201cAfternoon tea\u201d, in either Sitting 1 or Sitting 2 the restaurant block is shown \u201cC\u201d on your plan.

At the entrance to the restaurant there will be seating plans for both Sitting 1 & Sitting 2 with people on hand to show you to your tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sittings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Sitting 1<\/strong>  doors open 12.00noon, food from 12.30pm to 1.45pm and
For Sitting 2<\/strong>  doors open from 2.15 pm, food from 2.30pm  to 3.45.
Please note  places for both Sittings are now closed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea, Coffee, Biscuits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tea, coffee & biscuits, shown in classrooms \u201cB\u201d on the site plan, will be available on demand. We hope that there will be enough space in these rooms to sit down & carry on chatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have got a plan in the event of wet weather, which will be obvious in such circumstances, but we will not bother you with it at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 5th<\/sup> August.
The working group !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHOTOGRAPHS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Photi
Blazer with Lydney Grammar School Badge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


As you can imagine, we have already got lots of photos to help us to decide what to display on the day.
However we could do with more photos showing girls\u2019 sports over any of the years, so if you have anything in this category please scan & send to Brian James.
We could also do with a wider choice of \u201cmore modern\u201d photos for all subjects from 1963 to 1973, so again if you have got anything really interesting from this era, please scan & forward to Brian James.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to seeing you on 5 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
