Former residents of Oban High School’s Craigard hostel for girls held a reunion dinner last month. Approximately 50 years after they left the hostel, the 30 women met in the Caledonian Hotel in Oban on April 16. During the evening the women reminisced on the rather austere hostel life of the sixties and the many escapades they enjoyed and were often ‘gated’ for. The group hopes to meet again in 2020 and is inviting anyone who was in the hostel in the 1960s and who would like to join them to make contact by emailin eleanornicolson@yahoo.co.uk.
