We have been away over the weekend, so I have just
seen this e-mail. If anyone is free to drop everything at a moments notice, the
Kipling event at Milner Court sounds fascinating!
With best wishes to all,

Subject: Kipling's visit to open Milner Court
Dear Madam,
I wanted to let the Kipling Society know that the
Junior King's School, Canterbury is celebrating the 80th anniversary
of its move to Milner Court in Sturry on Monday 5th October 2009 with a special
Kipling Open Day. We shall be recreating the visit of Rudyard Kipling to open
Milner Court in memory of his friend Lord Alfred Milner. "Kipling" played
by an actor will arrive in a 1925 Rolls Royce similar to the one
he used. We shall have some lectures on Kipling's life and the students are
being encouraged to recite his poetry in a competition. There will be a
special themed luncheon and an Edwardian tea in the great Tithe Barn where
Kipling spoke to over 600 guests 80 years ago. The students will also be
dressing up in period costume.
If anyone from the Kipling Society would like to
visit for the day, they would be most welcome. Please let me know if there is
any interest from the society.
With kind regards
Peter Wells
Headmaster
