Lodge School Reunion 2008 - Dover Beach Lime

Immediately following the After Party at Solstice 21 Night Club the Lodge School family proceeded up St. Lawrence Gap for Dover Beach to commence the Reunion Lime. It was evident that some persons were barely able to keep their eyes open, but the gathering was steadfast in their attempt to create Lodge School history - the first 24 hour reunion (10:00 a.m. Saturday until 10:00 a.m. Sunday).

I am happy to report that this goal was successfully achieved despite the heavy early morning showers. We take this opportunity to thank Ryan (former Lodge boy) and the good folks at Jill's Hut for coming on board and supporting this reunion event. Jill's Hut is located on Dover Beach, Christ Church, when visiting the area please drop by and show some love. We must whenever possible support our brethren and keep the old school network alive.

I am eagerly awaiting our next event, the Lodge School Old Scholars Cruise, which, by the way is now being held on September 6, 2008 on board the MV Harbour Master.

Reunion 2008 After Party - Solstice 21 Night Club

After the festivities at the Lodge School grounds earlier in the day, the next event on the reunion agenda was the After Party at Solstice 21 Night Club (next to Club NXS) last night in St. Lawrence Gap, Christ Church. The venue was quite appropriate and definitely lent the right atmosphere for this special affair. Anthony Nadur should be complimented for the recent renovations carried out on the venue (formerly the After Dark Night Club).

Admittedly, despite the doors to the club being open around the scheduled time most of the patrons arrived well after 11:00 p.m. (keeping Bajan time). Some of the VIPs making an appearance during the evening were Wayne 'Cool' Simmons and Terry 'Mexican' Arthur formerly of Square One music fame. The Lodge posse in attendance after gathering at the bar to reminisce and relive the good old days eventually went to the dance floor for some serious jamming.


The event ended just after 3:30 a.m. and it was time to move on over to Dover Beach for the Reunion Lime.

Lodge School Reunion 2008 - Fun Day & Fete

Yesterday's inclement weather managed to prevent several old scholars from making it to the Lodge School grounds. However, it did not dampen the spirits of those persons who were in attendance at the school.

Some persons used the opportunity to reconnect and share past memories others were just glad to be back at The Lodge School for one more 'ole time fete' in the school hall. These two photos indicate they certainly enjoyed themselves as DJs Nikos Boxill, Notorious and others kept them busy.

Reunion Barbecue To Follow The After Party

Hello everyone, please note that there will be a Barbecue and Lime at Dover Beach from 3:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. following the After Party at Club Solstice 21.

Those of you not interested in going home following the After Party can proceed to Dover Beach. A basketball contest will also take place during this period. For further information contact Michael Steele at 240-3576.

Alumni Social Networking - Support The Reunion

Yes folks, that grand occasion (Lodge School Reunion) is almost here and for those of you still undecided about going here is the number one reason why you should attend - Alumni Social Networking.

Many of us participate in some form of social networking almost every day without even realizing it. Most of the Lodge School Alumni have Facebooks, Hi5 and MySpace sites. We build these elaborate online social networks of friends and acquaintances and use them to gather or share information about ourselves or others.

So why not come out to the reunion events and do the same thing, there is no better place to network than amongst the alumni. The most successful social networks to date have been established on a common shared experience. Alumni communities represent a set of diverse individuals with one thing in common. They each share a very unique life experience and common affinity for their school.

Alumni Associations also have the ability to provide a more trusted and secure environment. So, with all said and done there is no reason why you should not come out on Saturday and participate in the festivities.

Official Lodge School Rings To Be Launched

Official Lodge School rings will be launched on the day of the reunion (Saturday, August 23, 2008). Please see the attached photo above of both the female and male versions of the rings.

Prices will be available on the day of the reunion - all orders made must be accompanied with a deposit.


The school rings were designed by the [dream team] Steele, Johnson and Boxill.

Lodge School Reunion 2008 - Banners Available

Hello Guys and Gals, please note that the Lodge School Reunion 2008 souvenir banner is in the process of being printed. This keepsake should be available on Saturday 23 during reunion events.

You are encouraged to obtain this wonderful memorabilia item to celebrate this historic occasion.
