Ron I have no objection to the principal attending but I suspect that she may not wish to come as she probably does not know anyone and may feel she has more exciting things to do on a Saturday night. Thus if she is invited we should be careful not to put her on the spot. I have spoken to one of the deputies (Don Northey) about a walk through the grounds before the dinner and am to phone him back a few days before to see if any of the buildings may be open for some other reason. Perhaps the Principal would prefer to be on site during the walk through only, so we could meet her, ask her about the school and she would then be free to escape. Her surname is Hughes but I can't recall her first name. Cheers Graham
