Reunions
See
'News and Events' page for information about the next Reunion.

How the Reunions began..
Miss Knocker started the original reunions in the 1930's, later, during the Second World War, old boys on leave or on
embarkation leave would visit St George's to say goodbye and to visit their childhood home before going overseas. After the war
it was possible to formalise and arrange a regular reunion of old boys and girls and this was done at Easter. Every girl and boy
leaving St George's automatically became an old girl or boy and received a Christmas card and a letter with news of the recent
happenings at St George's. The reunion of 1946 was the first time after the war that an organised reunion function took place.
The choice of Easter time to hold the get-together meant that the older children were away on holiday, thus freeing the
dormitories for use by any old boys and girls requiring accommodation. The main thrust of Miss Knocker's reunions revolved
around a Thanksgiving Day ceremony held always on Easter Monday, these functions continued until her retirement in 1949.
Following Miss Knockers retirement the reunions went into limbo and it wasn't until 1964 when Elsie Pickering, nee Bradley
(now Elsie Gale), took on the challenge to co-ordinate the old boys and girls and organise the reunions, that they became
re-established.  Elsie continued in her role as organiser of reunions for a period of nearly 20 years, at which time she handed
over the 'baton' to Sheila Stephenson, nee Potts and Tom Milburn to continue her work. After a while Sheila became the main
organiser and carried on the tradition admirably ever since.

Main Reunion held Annually.
The current format for the main reunion is that old boys and girls, with their respective spouses or partners (usually around
50-70 people), meet once a year at the Majestic Hotel in Harrogate, usually around April  (as close to St George's Day 23rd April
as possible), everyone gathers on the Friday for drinks and an informal chat to catch up on news. Groups usually form and have
dinner together at the hotel, along with a few more convivial drinks.
Saturday  lunch is usually enjoyed at one of the local
hostelries accompanied by a pint or two, this, with the pleasant company of old
(and new) friends, makes for a memorable occasion.        
Saturday afternoon a meeting is held at the hotel where the formal side of business
is conducted and a range of topics discussed.
That evening, everyone meets in a small private  Banqueting Suite where, after dinner,
those that have the ability and the energy, can dance the night away to the music,
kindly provided by St George's long standing friends from the Bradford City Police
Dance Band. Some in attendance dress formally, some don't, either way it doesn't
matter, for everyone connected with St George's is welcome and made to feel part
of the group. The most important thing is that we enjoy one anothers company while
we can and not stand on ceremony.


Sunday, after breakfast, some of the old boys and girls go to the local church service,
after which, everyone meets for coffee at St Andrew's, Harlow Moor Road and a last
chat, then it is a time for packing bags and saying goodbyes, until the next time.


Majestic Hotel, Harrogate 

Mini Reunions. The first mini reunions outside Harrogate were held in Matlock at various venues including The Duke William pub,
The Greyhound, Ye Olde Englishe and Gullivers World. Other mini reunions were held at the Parkwater at Lytham St Annes, the
Lord Hill at Shrewsbury, pubs in Buxton, Bradford, Llandudno and in 2005 The Rendezvous in Skipton where about 17 people
attended. These mini reunions are a much more casual affair and involves choosing a Pub suitably located for the convenience
of all attending (usually around 10-20 people) and simply having a relaxed time in the company of old friends. What could be better.


Final Reunion April 2018: Memorable & Unforgettable

The last St George’s House reunion took place as planned at the Majestic Hotel and was attended by a total of 41 guests.
Outline of the reunion, by Eddie Drummond

What better place to be than in Harrogate celebrating the St George’s final reunion. The entire weekend was a resounding success from
start to finish. We arrived on the Thursday and were able to settle in and of course meet and greet others. The highlight of the weekend
was undoubtedly the Saturday evening. The work and arrangements handled by the staff of the St George’s Police Children Trust and
The Police Treatment Centre was superb, I honestly don’t think I can do them justice in this brief note. I know Frank Fawcett and other
committee members were also involved and that Frank regrettably was unable to attend due to illness, my appreciation and best wishes
go to Frank and Pam and others. We had a beautiful meal prepared by the staff at the Majestic Hotel, a free bar, quiz and raffle interspersed
with speeches. What a super evening which also included a special surprise. We were given a new enamel badge to commemorate the
evening, a lovely touch I thought. The final act was a resounding rendition of Auld Lang Syne, I hasten to add we were entertained by a
musical trio more reminiscent of the three Amigos who went by the name Three Sheets to the Wind. They were really good and added to
the success of the evening. Not quite as emotional as I thought it would be but nevertheless a recognition that a chapter in our lives had
ended but a new one was beginning. Sunday saw us all at St Andrews pouring over old records and photographs. Always an interesting
activity, the time tunnel and the St George’s corner kindly set up by the PTC and Patrick Cairns in particular are a permanent reminder of
our history. Two final things, a wonderful chocolate cake decorated in the St George’s badge was wheeled into the sitting room ,a beautiful
additional touch to a fabulous weekend. We were then provided with a traditional Sunday lunch. The entire staff of the PTC and SGPCT
are incredible, I can’t speak too highly of their warmth and friendliness. Many, many thanks to everyone who made this such a
memorable weekend.

                      

Amongst those who attended were 22 old boys and girls along with their partners and relatives, Baroness Angela Harris and John Harris,
Harrogate Mayor Anne Jones and her consort Steve Jones, Lord & Lady Mountgarrett, Patrick Cairns CEO (PTC), Guy Fawkes, Rev Brian Hunt
along with members of the PTC and SGPCT staff who had helped to arrange our function.

Eddie Drummond deserves our thanks for representing us all on this special occasion.

Eddie writes.. Regarding my speech , I had made some notes but decided at the last minute to say something off the top of my head. I covered
areas of how I found myself with three Brothers at St George’s. how well we were treated and the kindness extended to us. I and Des, my
oldest brother, took to life at St George’s in our stride whilst my other siblings did not. Taking into consideration there was a war taking place ,
no NHS we were shown kindness and concern for our welfare by complete strangers. Out of the tragic circumstances of losing my Mother in a
diphtheria epidemic we were given a privileged start in life. St George’s in my view was similar to a good public school. We were provided with
everything possible. I said thank you on behalf of all the Girls and Boys especially to our Benefactors and some of the attendees were
descendants of those whose charitable outlook made the concept of St George’s a reality. I expressed appreciation for your contribution Peter
and the marvellous website you created. Almost 250,000 hits over 10 years a great achievement. Eddie.

Peter T. says.. The whole evening, indeed the weekend, must have involved much planning and hard work by our Committee and members of
the staff of both the St George’s Police Children Trust and the Police Treatment Centre, under the direction of Patrick Cairns. They not only
sponsored the Saturday dinner function, evening programme and invitations to distinguished guests, but provided the musical trio, production
of commemorative medallions for attendees, arranged a Memory Book (you are all welcome to send in comments for inclusion), organised a
professional photographer for the evening, produced a video recording of the event, planted a tree in the PTC grounds, produced a cake with
the St George’s logo badge prominently displayed, arranged a time tunnel display of our photographs and memorabilia in PTC, contacted the l
ocal newspaper advising them of the event, along with many other things.Everyone involved in making our grand finale such a success deserves
our thanks, we appreciate all of your efforts in making this a truly memorable occasion – we salute you.

A few words from Peter Taylor

Appreciation to St George’s Police Children Trust and the Police Treatment Centre. I want to express our appreciation and thanks to
these two organizations and in particular Patrick Cairns for agreeing to continue with the hosting of our website and, for their unstinting
support they have provided to us as a group over many years. I have nothing but admiration for the charitable services they provide and
gratitude to them for being able to find time and funding to help us celebrate our origins, year after year. I believe we should do everything
we can to reciprocate and support them in any way possible.

Finally – there are too many of you to thank individually but I must give a word of appreciation and mention your organizing committee
members, both current and past that I have worked with – Elsie Gale, Sheila Stephenson, Rev David Uffindeli,

Frank Fawcett, Vee Robinson and Peter Waddington. They have all given their time generously and I have enjoyed working with them
over the years.

The 2017 Harrogate Reunion. 20- 23 April.
Twenty three people attended the most recent reunion held once again in Harrogate at the Majestic Hotel. It was decided during the annual
meeting that due to declining numbers, next year will be the final reunion.
Sadly this is inevitable - we are all now getting older and, with the accompanying aches and pains, it is no longer easy for people to attend.
It would be good to get a large number to the last 'hurrah' so you may like to take the opportunity to put your name down and come along.
It will be the last opportunity to do so.

Shown below are some of the photos taken at the 2017 reunion:

The 2016 Harrogate Reunion. 21- 24 April.

The Harrogate reunion went very well and everyone enjoyed themselves with twenty nine people attending the Saturday reunion dinner –
as various people have said to me, Patrick Cairns and his PTC staff (not forgetting the St George’s Police Children Trust) need to be
congratulated and thanked for their continued support of the St George’s old boys and girls they have done this for many years and we do
appreciate it.

With our ever declining numbers, it is becoming evident that planning for a reunion 'end game' should be considered. It has been suggested
that our final reunion should take place in the near future and this is being discussed as a likely grand finale.
More informal, self funded mini
reunions can continue on a personal level and if these are held in the Harrogate area the OB & G's will be welcome to visit the
Police Treatment Centre (St Andrew's).

The 2015 Harrogate Reunion. 10- 12 April.

In spite of a reduced number of participants this year, it can safely be said the Reunion, with twenty six people attending and held once
again at the Majestic Hotel, Harrogate went well. Following are some of the photographs taken at the event.

Our thanks once again go to those involved in organising the event - Frank Fawcett, Vee Robinson, Peter Waddington and of course the
St George's Police Trust and the Police Treatment Centre, for their support.
