The school hosted Edwardians of all eras from 6:15 on Saturday 8th October.
Numbers were around the 700 mark - the Hall was filled from 7:45 until 9:00 or so and the Bar immediately below was simultaneously far from empty (according to unreliable sources).
This took place at the Abbeydale Sports Club on Sunday 9th Oct. There were 150 present, the event having reached the maximum permitted with a few days left.
