Annual Reunion 2009

What a lovely  day for the Reunion 2009. This year we were able to go outside as the weather was beautiful. There could be changes that would include our generation of 'home children. We felt that the organisers were 'geared' up to accommodate the older generation. I have a few Photographs from this year and last years event.

Once again this year there was only one staff member - Mrs Healy the House Mother of the Catholic House. Sadly her Husband had passed away.

Annual Reunion 2008 (1)

This year on the 26 May 2008 there will be quite a few of us that resided at Hutton Poplars Children's Home that will be attending the Annual Reunion. We lived there from 1955-1967+ years.

Recently because Friends Reunited no longer charges subscriptions there has suddenly been an increase in people signing up hence recently I have already had contact from approximately 10 people. We have been able to reminiscence. These stories have helped immensely to bring back our childhood memories.

It would be interesting and helpful if you could share any information that you have gathered.

I am the blood cousin to actor/singer Gary Wilmot and both of our fathers were singers in a Group called "The Southlanders" Their famous song was "I am a Mole and I live in a hole".
