For some, A-level Results Day ‘98 would be the last time we would see one and other. Results Day being such a ‘happy’ occasion – it was agreed that we should mark the 20 years gone in ‘a blink of an eye’ with a reunion.

A WhatsApp group was formed followed by a Facebook page to get the conversation started. We managed to ensure that over 80 students from the year group of ’91 – ’98 knew of the event. Naturally, many now live overseas or could not make it that night for one reason or another – but all very much wished they could have.

We met up at the White Horse in Leamington on the 24 November 2018. It took no time at all for us to pick up from where we had last left off 20 years prior and the Old Princethorpians' Association kindly put some money behind the bar for us all to have a drink. Instead of moving on to other bars, as intended, we were good where we were – until being moved on to Altoria for a few more into the early hours.

It really was a great night with old friends with so many shared memories. I’m sure the next one will be as good - if not better with even more old friends.
