Round about 1980, 19 adults and children went to Barbados to celebrate the new year. We were with the Bullinghams, Powells and Stones. I saw the green flash as the sun set. The others could not see it and acused me of being crackers. When I got home I wrote to Patrick Moore who confirmed its existance by sending me his reply on a postcard.I photocopied this and sent it to our friends.
I celebrated my last birthday at The Green Flash restaurant in Sanibel, FGlorida. I started with half a dozen oysters.

Here is a good web site for finding loads about the green flash

Ruby Wedding Celebration.

Robin and Christine Harrod celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary by inviting old friends and family out for a chineese lunch in Cheltenham last Sunday. It was a great occasion and we met Colin and Anne which was great. We have had some really happy times with the Harrods and i am proud to be Godfather to their daughter Samantha. I saw her two children for the first time. We stayed at Anna's lovely house and drank rather too much!!

Geoff Mair

In October this year we are having a reunion at University College of all those who started in 1963. Roger Chapman has been arranging it all. He asked me the other day about one of that year and one of my best friends who died. I wrote Geoff Mair's obituary in the BMJ and forwarded this link to Roger.
