This was organised by Luis Santamaria. Park Place is now under new management and the current owners have big plans for the development of the old school. I am sure that the current owners will be more approachable. When I hear anything about the plans etc, I will let you know. I will ask any old boys not to contact Park Place as things have to be done through the proper channels. I am hopeful that they might allow a bigger group when things get more established at Park Place.
