Drinking on school premises – or off it for that matter - was strictly taboo back in our day.
Well, who would have said it, but nowadays the Old Selbornian Association has a clubhouse & pub in the old Primary School where the OSA hosted a spitbraai for all the reunion groups and other Old Selbornians on the Friday evening after the Retreat Ceremony.
It was another time of great camaraderie with everyone at one stage joining in a rendition of the song we added to the school repertoire to the tune of Cliff Richards' "Batchelor Boy": "When I was 16, my fa-a-ther said, son I have something to sa-a-ay. He-e said son, you are a Selbornian until your dying day..."
As they do every year, Mike & Louise McComb do the spitbraaing on the occasion and very delicious it was too.
Later on, Mike showed that his skills are not merely culinary and that he is still practised in the performing arts when he entertained everyone with an hilarious “Fiddler on the Roof” skit showing great dexterity with the fiddle. It was something along the lines of “Jake the Fake with an extra leg” but in this case the additional member was one which protruded every so often from his fly!
