Arnewood School Class of '83 Reunion, New Milton - November 2002
It's nearly 20 years since Nosher did a bunch of 'O' Levels and left school (to go on to Brockenhurst College), and - courtesy of "Friends Reunited" - it's discovered that there's a school reunion. It's being held at the Rugby Club on the edge of Fawcett's Field: Nosher drives down and crashes with Hamish, and we both head over to the gig. It's an interesting night - several people have not been seen since school, and although Nosher was in a bit of a funk about "life in general" at the time, it turns out to be a quite cathartic experience. There's a big range of outcomes in life-choice, between some who left school, sprognated and have done nothing since, to those who have travelled the world. Nosher came to the realisation that actually his life was quite good, really.
