2004.06.20Tania MelnyczukHmmm, I don't know about Chris Veitch, but if you send me your e-mail address from this site:
http://www.o-i-c.com/o-i-c/site.nsf/pages/contact_tm
then I can try to find his contact details to mail to you.

2004.06.18Ardery Scott (nee Veitch)I am wondering if Chris Veitch is related to a John McKenzie Veitch, Master Mariner, of Glasgow. I know he had relatives in Port Elizabeth.

2004.04.27kimmyThink I am the only one using this web, anyway, we are in Indonesia and life has been pretty hectic trying to get settled but finally doing that, far different from Malaysia. Email addresses are still the same and would be good to hear from anyone. Time is flying and then will be time to arrange the 30 year, any takers....???Love Kim

2003.07.27kimmy yatesSchwester, was thinking on the plane, in 10 yrs my children will be 18, and finished school, scary thought, should have taken them to KC this year to show them what it was all about, kimmy

2003.07.27kimmy yatesDear all, Thank you so much for coming to the reunion and making the effort it was fantastic seeing everyone and a real joy , I will be writing a letter for the newsletter and our website,I also have wonderful photographs which Trev kindly put on disc, so just give me a week or so and will load all of that, especially for those who didn't make it, get ready for the next one which is in 10 yrs time so start saving, already thinking of things to do....love you all and miss you all already, kimmy , add kimwilliams788@hotmail.com

2003.07.24Ulla GossowWell, I'm so glad I made the effort to seeing everyone again. Thanks for a good time! See you all again in 20 years - "how many grandchildren will you all have by then"! Much love Ulla

2003.07.13kimmy yatesHi all, have managed to get 30 caps made for the reunion black with red wyvern etc as the emblem on the website.....they will cost R30 each first come first serve, my dad managed to get them made and will contribute the difference of R5 as cost price is R35 per cap..so please support and wear a cap, otherwise you will get detention(hahaha), a few people have cancelled last minute so I think only 23 will be at reunion barr the ones who haven't contacted me.....Mark and I have booked at a new B&B Feathers in Lawrence street , and they are only 165 ? a nite if you are still stuck for accomodation, Tanya will keep on sending updated to you for the site. 2 sleeps

2003.07.09TaniaYikes, sorry I have been so horribly slow in updating the site! A number of you mailed me saying you have pics to provide for the site -- I'll get in touch on the weekend, I hope! One of the guys actually reckons his appearance has changed so much that we can all play a "guess who" with his photo!

2003.07.08Benjamin DroomerHi Tania

If I attend I could also offer space if needed will let you know.

2003.07.08Benjamin DroomerI am going to try and attend will confirm by Monday 14

2003.07.07kimmy yatesMy South African handphone number is 0823714676 and will be operational from the 16th of July as that is the day i arrive, Jen the wyvern has got serviettes but windy for outside I think...

2003.07.07kimmy yatesjenni, thought we could use the candles at the dinner on SAT with 20 yr reunion on or something black and red and whatever you would like to put on, we could also use them on the Friday at the braai if it is not too windy as we are on the verandha...anything that suits you would be great Thanx

2003.07.07Jenni BlackKim sure I can do a few candles. Do you want normal or my new speciality which I won't mention on the message board as I want to keep it relatively clean. Bunts I can't believe you won't be making it. Kim back to the candles does Kingswood have paper serviettes with the Wyvern on then I could do a few logo candles, let me know

2003.07.05kimmy yatesTanya will email the confirmed lists shortly for you to update on the website.Thanx for everyone's help to date. Not long to go now, looking forward to it

2003.06.26Justin WilmotGreetings from Kenton-on-Sea. Hope you are all well. Are you joking about playing Rugby? I'm sure they don't need 15 Props.
Justin

2003.06.26PufferHas no-one had contact with the dogs !
I do not have conatct details but I know they have been around lately. Last I heard they were both involved in IT in Jhb and both larger than we remember !
Bunts, go for your smoking badge, only hassle is there will be nobody to bust you ! Are you still so fat ?

2003.06.25kimmy yatesSands you re right Robey Greyvenstein, will put him on and Roy is on the list now as well Jen, Tanya what time are you getting to G'Town on the Friday? Would be great if you could do the registration.......at the library then maybe later at the Wyvern with a few drinks. Jeepers our class was really big to date about 72 names crazy lah. Sands we will miss you too.

2003.06.25Jenni BlackI see that Roy Pike did not make the list

2003.06.21Sandy Lampen (nee Harris)So sad not to make this reunion, sounds all so exciting.... going through a whole flashback of all the wonderful times we all had together as a group ......!! Great laughs..so much teasing...where we ever so young? Kimmy, have not seen Robey Greyvenstein's name on the list.... he was with us surely?

2003.06.20Anton BuntingHow about we all go smoking behind the pumphouse at the pool?

2003.06.20Jenni Davies-BlackTania Andi Joseph is in urgent need of a lift from Capetown Her contact No is 021 683 7355 w

2003.06.20Jenni Davies-BlackI think a big Thankyou is due to Kim and Tanya for all they have done. Quick update on my life. Married one kid (girl) Jaime, She,s 2 and a bit. After I left J'Burg moved to the warmer weathers of Natal, Pinetown.

Worked for Hyundai for 5 years, got out 6 months before it collapsed. Got married 5 years ago. worked for Ford until Jaime was born. Now I am a lady of leisure doing a few hobbies (candle making which I supply a shop in Hillcrest) and the odd admin for my hubby.

Look forward to seeing everyone next month.

Warm Regards
Jenni Davies-Black

2003.06.17Tania MelnyczukI can do the registrations if you like, because I can't play golf -- hey, I am not even any good at putt-putt! I will be bringing along a borrowed digital camera which takes pretty good pics (4 million pixels), so if we wanna save ourselves the cost of a pro, we can get someone to click it for the group pic, and I can take lots of others of snapshots of individual people.

2003.06.15kimmy yatesWho would like to handle the registration on Friday at the Library as some will be playing golf and the school tour is on at 3.30 by Mop Bandy, then we hit the Wyvern......Sat will be sports and light lunch pies etc at Wyvern then thugby and then onto the Rat and Parrot, Gregg needs to book, Trev please phone him to book for about 25 or so I think...Do we want photofirst to do our pics or ourselves, they come on Friday and take them and you get on SAT so then you pay on Friday at Reg for all these things and the Barbecue....Sunday there is a chapel service we may join in Chapel, not the lane, Ross....and then hit a breakkie for those that are around then au revoir, sound like a better plan as I am to finalise in the ..next few weeks.

2003.06.15kimmy yatesHey great to c you all on line, fantastic, well done Tania for all the help it is really great and this website is superb. not long to go then...sorry Owen and Roy haven't got you on the list but will put you on this week and will mail you all, need to do the update, verrrry busy here...the schedule is going to change as well this week and my letter so look out for it will forwrd to you all. Sorry to those who cannot make it really sad would have been great to see you but will add pics for enjoyment, why don't you all send a pic to Tania now of your family's etc, I will wen I can operate this digital.

2003.06.13Tania MelnyczukKim, I have taken the liberty of adding a couple of those who have replied to me personally during the last few days to the list of people who are coming. Once I've got my head organised I will consolidate all their contact details for you. Inter alia, I got some really cool e-mail from Greg Nel and Anton Eggmann. Nice to see that these guys are trying their level best to try to come from as far away as Switzerland and New Zealand! I sent an e-mail message to Mr. Dominic King -- hey, it's worth a try!

2003.06.13Deborah HALLHi to everyone. Sorry that I can't make the reunion as I am going to the UK for 3 weeks the end of June and first week in July and can't make it to SA as well. I am currently living in Melbourne, Australia. It sounds like there are a few OKs in Australia. Maybe we should catch up for a weekend. My email address is:
deborahj@maconline.com.au
Looking forward to hearing all the news and fun that you will have at the reunion. Wish that I could be there as well. Have a great time!

2003.06.11Grant HaydockHi,thanx for tracking me down.Would love to be there,if circumstances allow i will be there.I am busy with a new development called "KINGSWOOD" at the moment,with a name like that it must surely be a success.I think i can get hold of Russell Gardner,Jonathan Meyer,Roy Pike & Owen Furlong.Will keep you posted.
Regards Grant Cell 0836278202

2003.06.11Russell SkaeThanks to Kim and Tanya for tracking me down. I am living between Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands currently. Unfortunately due to recent events in Saudi things are very uncertain and will likely not be able to make the trip. For those who do make it have a great time and look forward to seeing some pics afterwards.
My email is russellskae@hotmail.com

2003.06.10Tania MelnyczukAustralia is a big place! Where are you exactly? There are several OKs there; my brother is one of them (lives in Sydney), and has contact with others.

2003.06.10Glenn WearneHi anyone who reads this. Got the email this am which was fantastic to see all those names again- what good memories. I am so sorry I will not make it as I am in Australia. Wish it was in August as will be in SA then. Have a great weeknd to anyone who goes. My email is glennwearne@hotmail.com

2003.06.09Graham PapenfusHi All. I unfortunately will not be joining you as I will be in the East. I wanted to alert any of you who will be in the UK on Friday 1st August that we are holding the first OK UK branch reunion at Haileybury College, Hertfordshire (tbc) and would love to hear from you if you are able to join us - my email is grahamnp@haileybury.herts.sch.uk.

Have a blast - Graham

2003.06.09kimmy yatesTania I think you would look fantastic, I only have my awards from blazer left, wouldn't fit into the old gymslip as I am about 15 kg bigger, child bearing hips and all. Sands sorry you aren't going to make it man, but we will put pictures on the website so you will see exactly who was there and what went on.....

2003.06.09Tania MelnyczukI was just wondering, does anyone still have any of their school uniforms left? Ties, blazers, etc.? I actually have an almost-complete boy's uniform which fits me (not a girl's, ironically). I think I will wear it to the reunion.

With high heeled shoes.

2003.06.08Sandy Lampen (nee Harris)Hi guys,
Sounds all so exciting, trying to decipher which e-mail address belongs to who, so that I can get in touch with all my "old" (no pun intended) buddies. Unfortunately cannot make the reunion (will write to you later Kimmy)but would love to get re-acquainted with some of you again. Sitting in Kitwe, Zambia and feeling really heartsore that I will be missing out on something so fantastic! We had a great bunch in '83 didn't we? My address is sandyjan@zamtel.zm...... would love to hear from you!

2003.06.08kimmy yatesTania will send you updated who will be there list as quite a few people have answered. If you could also change that the golf will start at 12ish as well and we can meet at the Golf club for drinks then move onto the Wyvern, have asked marjorie Ferreira to make a reunion banner for us as she is good at sewing and I will decorate our tables when there.

2003.06.08kim williams(yates)Thanx tania great help, have managed to get quite a few emails but waiting for replies from them, those you contact, josh paton etc try and get them to fwd emails to me so that ican update the database. My dad might do golf towels for us with reunion balls to expensive, haven't managed to organise shirts or caps still trying.

2003.06.08Tania MelnyczukI have done some investigation and I think I am on the trail of some more of our missing classmates -- may be close to finding Barry Hindmarch, Grant Haydock and a couple of others. The girls are harder to research, because many of them get married and change their surnames. Will keep posting findings here.

2003.06.08Tania MelnyczukI think I may have found Anton Eggmann. He seems to be a squash champion in Europe. It looks like he looked at school but a lot handsomer, his second name is Kurt, and he was born in 1965. I sent him an e-mail message.

2003.06.01kimmy yatesTania would be great for the sweatshirts. i am trying to get golf balls with wyvern on, and have asked my sister in law as she is in production , will let you know.

2003.06.01kimmy yateshope to see most of you and thanx for replying those who have,,please pass on ifo to whoever you see and contact me if haven,t, still have missing people. I'm driving from PE to GOG on the Friday morning so if you need a lift, don't hesitate.

2003.05.19Tania MelnyczukHi, Kim. Funny, I also thought of t-shirts or something, except that I was thinking caps because it may be cheaper, and you don't have to worry about size, and it's a bit cold that time of the year for t-shirts (sweaters would be nice, though -- black with huge red wyvern?). If someone can recommend a promotional clothing company, I can do the artwork and send them the files, otherwise I will just source a company locally. What do you all think? Caps, sweaters, t-shirts?

2003.05.12Tania Melnyczuk (née Kruger)I will be driving from Cape Town to Grahamstown on Friday 18 July, possibly alone; so I would probably be able to offer a lift to anyone from Cape Town or along the route. Leave a message here with contact details if you're interested.
