56ers getting ready?

56ers, the Gentlemen, get off your backsides and get in touch with UBI, pronto.

I had this email from 56er Ubi:

Dear Jacob,

I have not written for some time now, but I look at your Blogsite almost daily and am totally updated.

You had very kindly put up the details of the anniversary on your site on 30 December 2005.

In addition to the programme detailed there, the following additional items are now contemplated also and the list will grow:

1. Dinner hosted by two old girls on 10 November 2006


2. Contributory lunch at the Bombay Gymkhana on 14 November 2006


3. High tea hosted by an old girl

I shall shortly advise you of the names of the hosts of the various functions.

For the dinner mentioned above on 10 November 2006,if any 56ers wish to join in as hosts they are welcome.

We have made contact with the following Old Boys of 56 who will attend the Reunion:

1. Ravi Dandekar


2. Shyam Chainani


3. Muku Hamied (hopefully)


4. S.Brelvi


5. Sohrab Kapadia


6. Ranjit Matthan


7. Michael Tahseen


8. H.S.Uberoi

Wherever possble, the spouses will also attend.

I have been coordinating with Meena Bhatt (nee Lele) in the organising of this event and it looks good. Very good. She tells me that they are expecting 23 Old Girls of the Class of 56 to attend. Tremendous.

I shall in my next update give you perhaps fuller details of the events etc.

Jacob, may I request you to please put this on your Blogsite in whatever modified form you wish. Thanks.

Thank you for the lovely table calendar I received very recently.

All the best,

Ubi
HS Uberoi

There are lots of 56ers in our midst. Please get in touch with me or Ubi as soon as possible.

The 57ers under Fleur (née Ezekilel) and Budni in Pune have already started making their plans for their reunion next year, 2007 and they seem to be far more advanced than the 56ers!

Further, we 59ers seem to use every opportunity to get together.

There was a great get together of 59ers in Mumbai just a few weeks ago.
