Pilsdon Community

50th Anniversary

Indulging in a little nostalgia

On the 19th October 2008 The Pilsdon Community celebrated its half-centenary. Gaynor Smith, founder and many of her family and friends were able to join us for the celebrations.

At noon there was a Eucharist led by present warden, Jonathan Herbert during which Gaynor and past wardens Stuart Affleck and Peter Barnett, friends, guests and occasional visitors were able to share their memories with the congregation.

This was followed by a lunch (backed with musical entertainment) served for 300 from marquees on the front lawn. During the afternoon people were able to browse the extensive archives of photographs, newsletters and other correspondence and newspaper cuttings recording life at Pilsdon from 1958 to the present day; a recording of television programmes, about our Community, first shown in the mid-sixties and the mid-eighties provoked many conversations.

A TRULY JOYOUS OCCASION
