2013 '76ers Reunion

DETAILS

Post June 5, 2013...

 

An update on the June 10-15 2013 reunion.

I was lazy so I just copied an email from Springy about the reunion plans. This is for the benefit of those last minute guys who still want to grab a last minute plane ticket & accomodations and be there. Nothing is wrong with pooling with another attendee and getting shared rooming. Unooh used to board ah school anyway. lol

here is Springy's message: originally written 3/22/2013

I need to get some feedback from you in regards to your lodging accommodations. I hope you have already started considering where you will be staying. I need a count for those who are going to be staying at the Sunset Beach hotel to communicate the numbers to Lynvale’s Brother, Evatt. The rate below is fantastic so please make use of it. Please send me a roll call ASAP in regards to this hotel.

Also I booked my room already at Kuyaba. That rate is a total of $61 for a deluxe room with two double beds. There was a parrot in the background making a whole heap a noise when I was making my reservation so mi tell de lady fe trow some stone after it.    

 

A reunion highlight:

At the 2006 76’ers reunion we honored 10 teachers that helped to form and shaped our lives. It was a memorable event and if you missed it then you missed good thing.  This reunion we will honoring a couple of old boys that were also influential in our lives but in different ways than our teachers. These 2 characters were CC coaches who at times did not speak kindly to us as they encouraged us to do better.  On June 15th at 6:00pm at Tizzy’s restaurant please let’s all gather to honor Steve Buckner and Ali McNab for their contribution to coaching our school teams in cricket and football. This will be an informal occasion as we roast them as best as we can. Music will be provided by Medusa…unu rememba Medusa??

 Lodging:

-Wexford has deals on Expedia for $77 per night including breakfast. I have not checked recently

-Steve Powell mentioned that Sunset beach hotel is offering $80 a night all inclusive if booking is done before march 25.Lynvale Bloomfield’s brother is the general manager for the hotel. Steve not sure how we need to book to get this rate. Please communicate with the masses on this.

-Peter Chin is reminding us that we need to book early also for June 13th at Kuyaba hotel in Negril. The rate is now $61 USD. PC please update the masses if anything changed on this.

Welcome bredren. I have created a quick Reunion page for the class of 76 2013 reunion, happening June 10th to June 15th, 2013 in Montego Bay. As of the typing of this message, 26 attendees have given notice to Springy that they are attending. Hopefully this increases quickly.

Since I am being told this may be the last reunion (doubt it), please see if your wives and jobs will give you the time off to be there.

We have a week of activities planned including school visits, trips to Negril, awards ceremony, and dinner at Tizzy's with  original chiney man selector PC Peter Chin. Get on the email list for details. I will post updates as the group gives them to me. I will also post the weeks schedule here. Many hotel discounts/group rates are being offered.
