The Reunion
The Rimmer Reunion was a resounding success - now I am asked if I will do it again?I'm not sure at this stage, but I would like to say that it was a superb night, many of the 120 attendees brought family trees and there were many, many photographs of bygone times;one gentleman brought a huge book full of photographs and articles relating to William Rimmer the Conductor/Composer.
The Southport church hall was buzzing from 4 o'clock until 10.30pm and there will be a broadcast by Radio Lancashire on Sunday 18th August immediately after the 1.00pm news (if you know how you can listen to radio programmes through the computer)!
We had families from Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire as well as those travelling a mere 50 miles to attend, but the general reaction was that it had been worth every inch of the way.
