A Barraba reunion for old school mates
WELCOME HOME NANCY!
By Geoff Hagan
Last Saturday 21st February saw twelve former classmates of Barraba Central School welcome home a fellow classmate, Nancy Brambley-More. Nancy hasn’t been back to Barraba since October 1988 – that is going on for thirty-eight years.
When Nancy arrived in town on Saturday, a welcoming party of three former classmates met her on the footpath in front of Polkadot Coffee Rooms, where we were meeting for coffee. Before our coffee, Nancy paid her respects to our six deceased classmates whose names and a plaque are on our class memorial table.
We gathered around 5 pm at the Commercial Hotel. After a few drinks, we ate around 6 pm. After a delicious meal and a few more drinks we said our goodbyes at about 11.30 pm.
Nancy enjoyed her weekend at her old stamping ground, and said she won’t leave it as long before her next visit.
