On Saturday 6th September 2014 former City of Coventry Boarding School pupils returned to the camp, thanks to Stephen Donald, a pupil who was there in the late 50’s. Stephen did a competent job of bringing together about 20 former pupils at Pioneer centre as the campus is now called.<\/span>

\nThe following are the photos that have emerged so far on Facebook. There will be more and Roger McGee is to send some archive photos from the 50’s which he rescued from the main hall, including a copy of the 2nd Boarder magazine which we don’t have.<\/span>

\nFirst off is Stephen Donald’s list of attendees. It’s more or less right but a few changes. Chris Applebey (Mr Pip Pip) and his wife attended despite being crossed off the list.<\/span><\/p>\n
