Tourism Alumni Reunion, 8 March 2003

The Reunion, which involved around 75 people, consisted of an informal meeting at the University, a lunch in a bar in town, and a formal dinner dance in the evening. More photos will be added shortly.



Lunchtime at Bonavita, in Leeds. Jo Drake, Karen Draper, Carole Cavanagh, Becky Donoghue.



Becky Donoghue and Kofi Ohene-Djan at the Metropole Hotel where the dinner-dance was held.



Carole Cavanagh and Jo Drake: at the Metropole Hotel.


Lynn Barrett, retired tutor Roger Perry, Jane Austick, and Karen Draper: Metropole Hotel.

Those who knew Roger will be saddened to know that he died recently (February 2005) after being injured in a serious fall. Roger taught finance and accounting on the Tourism Courses and was always a popular colleague and tutor.
