Impressions of Falcon in 2004
To mark
Falcon’s Fiftieth year, the grounds were festooned with 50th banners
and memorabilia was on sale throughout the day. This included a range
of T-shirts especially designed for the 50th, key-rings and notebooks
with the 50th logo, and at the other end of the spectrum a select
range of silver jewelry designed and manufactured by Patrick Mavros .
An unusual item was “Amangorula”, a liqueur made by one of the Science
masters and largely consisting of generous amounts of cream, brandy
and mango juice! Parents bought generously and close to $15 million
was made that afternoon. (That will sound more impressive than it
actually is to those who have been overseas for sometime and are not
used to number of -000s that inflation has added to the price of
things!). The picture below show's the stall run by Linda Moss.
All in all, in spite of setbacks and anxieties generated by the
weather it was a successful day and well supported by parents in spite
of falling in the middle of a week.
