email from Nalini
Dear all,
We have a collection of 50 BNFs in London which need to be transported across to SL - the new ones for the library & old ones to be given to students.
Please can any of you help in some way to get them across?
I know your bags will be full with gifts when coming to SL - but do let me know if you can find room at least for a few.
If anyone is sending any stuff by sea that would be the best bet. Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Nalini.

Hi Batchmates
Please treat this as a personal reflection to which I have given much thought
The remembrance of the departed batch mates is of importance and I agree that it should from an integral part of our reunion. The form should be dignfied and proportionate.
As suggested a three minute remenbrance of each deceased individual has many flaws. The first is the length of time - nearly two hours. Subjecting participants to such an emotive period of response could have a serious negative influence on the whole proceedure.
I have two proposals:
Roll Call : 1. Each name called out - ( just the name) by a friend.
2. Each name called out by a friend with the year or date of death - this emphesising the time spread of rememberance (fron entry to date).
This proposal will time limit the period of rememberance and spare us of the agony of a prolonged period of recall that could be very painful.
I hope we could give due regard to this. Equally I would be happy to recall a batchmate or two as proposed.
With best wishes
Sidney Hettiaratchy
