Dear GHS Class of 1992 Alumni,Our 30th reunion is booked for Saturday July 16th, 2022 at Martin-Bishop Field (aka Fireman's Field) https://martin-bishopfield.com/history-of-m-b-field/ 111 Long Hill Road in Guilford (between Mill Rd and Long Hill).
We are going to say the reunion itself will be between 6:00-9:30 (the Park "closes" at 10pm. We can stick around later, we just can't make noise. So I'm giving us a little time to clean up). And we'll be there from mid-afternoon onward setting up, so people can come early if you want.
Essentially, the place is going to be whatever we make of it. They've got a gazebo and a pavilion. But if anyone who lives within driving distance has any additional outdoor tent/tailgate/party furniture/blankets/coolers and wants to bring it, please do.
I’d recommend throwing whatever you can in your car. Or we can rent some party furniture if anyone knows a location.
We have started to speak with a few food/beverage trucks. They are a bit more expensive than we'd like. If we get somewhere between 75-100 people we are seeing between $1,800-$2,200 estimates. The field is $850. We’ve got about $225 left over from last time.
So here are some options:
A. Get food and beverage trucks, maybe have cost be about $50/person
B. Get a food truck or two…bring our own alcohol/Soda/Juice/Water etc.
C. Go straight potluck. Everybody brings their own. And keep costs to a minimum.
Also, every 1992 graduate is invited (plus one), as always. But since it’s an open space and there’s nothing preventing us from bringing kids if we want…Do we want to extend the party to kids as well? I wouldn’t have a problem with it. We’d just need to get an accurate headcount of who is bringing children, and how many if we decided to get the food trucks.
So please reply. I know it feels far away, but planning wise, it isn’t. It’d really help if people who are 100% sure they are coming could let me know whenever you decide. That way we can start formulating a head count.
And please don’t hesitate to send me direct messages with feedback, ideas, things you can volunteer. Call or text as well 412-736-6511.
Something else that would really help…anybody that has a table/ some DJ equipment (speakers, etc) for music. They’ve got a horseshoe pit. It looks like a basketball court. Anything else entertainment wise, let me know what you can bring.
More details to come as we make some decisions. But that’s the update.
