Swanfels reunion

On February 11 past students and past teachers of the long closed Swanfels School, and also past and present residents, are invited to join in a gathering at the Pioneer Park at Swanfels to reminisce about times past and share many memories. It is hoped we will ring the original school bell at about 11am. We encourage you to bring your school bag or port with lunch, a thermos and maybe a chair. Hoping to see many there.
