A re-union for people from any school at the Iona 1991 from James Goring

Posted by Norman on 27/12/2025, 4:56 pm

I spotted this lovely video on Youtube by James Goring. I love the Irish music he chose ('Maggie') as it was my Scottish Granda Dunn's favourite probably sung to him by his Irish mother who came over in the famine 1840s

It was a great night Norman. I set out to raise £1000 for Macmillan and thanks to all, we did it! The late Trish Conway and partner Judith got the prizes and it was a great night...

Stan, I’m sorry to hear Trish Conway has past away. I only knew her from the board, but she seemed to do a lot of charity work. I remember reading about helping with the food banks.

So sorry to hear Trish Conway has passed away, does anyone know when the sad occasion was?

Hi Thomas, Her brother Rob Rob Conway emailed me on 18th Dec to say that his sister Trish passed away about 2 weeks ago making her death about 4th Dec.

Trish was a remarkable person who although could appear to be a hard woman at times was a very thoughtful caring person who would help any cause. Everything she was involved with benefitted from her input. When I was after prizes for the 1991 raffle at the Iona, she and partner Judith jumped at it and she had such a way the doners could hardly say no even down to a portable TV and a holiday break ! The cemetery gardening was her target on many occasion and she would organise things. In Hebburn she will always be remembered for her charity work, especially at the food bank. R.I.P. Trish
