I was a pupil at Pelham School for Girls, Brighton, Sussex, from 1951-1955. New Zealand became my home in 1962.
I have a few contacts with the girls of 1955 and would love to hear from more of them. We are planning a meet-up in Brighton in late August/early September. Four of us met on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, last year.
Sheila Main, Gloria Robinson, Linda Trussell, Bertha Byrne, Ann Rushworth and Yvonne Brown are all keen supporters of the idea.
We want more “girls” from our year to join us. Please contact me, Elizabeth Byrne-Fong (Bertha Byrne), by emailing elizabeth22@orcon.net.nz or write to the address below.
