There are an incredible amount of Oranjemund Private School (OPS) photographs doing the rounds and
I have created a seperate board on the forum, where you can submit your school photographs. I had
hoped sometime to redesign the site, to accommodate all the Newsletters and OPS photographs, but
have been unable to find the time. So please just upload your OPS snaps to the board for the
timebeing, otherwise I will just be adding it to the rest of your photo's when I create your album.

For those still interested in attending the Reunion 2008 in November, I have updated the necessary
documentation to PDF format for downloading on the REUNION 2008 page.

Please let me know if you intend to change your email address, or you can change it on your
profile, otherwise I cannot notify you of Updates when they occur.
Also for those of you who may not be aware of it, there are now more than 600 images scattered
throughout the Forum, so please feel free to join us on the boards sometime...
enjoy and thanks again to all those who have submitted, keep 'em coming..
