Duncan & Davies Reunion

Not surprisingly none of the original staff of Duncan and Davies are alive. However plenty of others, who worked for the company can still draw breath. This is a message to those people - who hopefully still have a memory and a sense of humour - we're having a reunion.

It's taken a long time to arrange (over 100 years) and it's not likely to be repeated; so put this date in your diary Saturday 6 November 2010. The reunion will include tours of the old sites and a tour of the Brixton block now being very successfully run by The Stepping Stones Nurseries Ltd. We will have an evening meal in the old packing shed and plenty of time to catch up and reminisce.

Alan Jellyman has been working hard to complete a book detailing the history of the company. We hope images from the reunion will be used to fill up the last pages before going to print. Attendees can order their copies and benefit from early bird prices.

For information on registration contact Ian Duncalf at ian@duncalf.co.nz, or 139 Te Puna Road, R.D. 6, Tauranga. Tell your old mates. It's going to a great event and for those looking for an excuse to travel, this is the last weekend of the Taranaki Rhododendron and Garden Festival.
