The Supsliskans' 25th anniversary reunion was held on 24 April 1993, ably organised by Ray with the assistance of Jane and Sylvia, in the sumptuous surroundings of the Swallow Hotel in Sheffield. It was an altogether grander affair than our latest reunion, involving an optional visit to the recently completed St George's Library at the University and the new premises of the Department of Information Studies, opened in September 1992 - farewell Claremont Crescent. The buffet meal was served in the Cutlers Room and sluiced down by wine generously provided by BLCMP Library Services - thank you Tony. Many of those attending stayed the night (£30 per person) and several of the library staff attended. The following photographs have been unearthed and are presented here for Those of us who are in their anecdotage.
If any of you have the time to help me out by identifying people in the crowd scenes, I would be pleased to add more informative captions.
