Default Locations for a High School Reunion

I'm trying to help organize our 10 year reunion coming up and am having troubles thinking of a decent location...I was thinking a pub but it needs to have a decent capacity; we had 350 grads so we'd need capacity for probably around 175.

Has anyone had a recent reunion around this size? Any good recommendations?

We actually did our 10 year at the school, they opened it up for us, and got the teachers that were still around to attend. Then they did a family picnic the next day.

For our 20th, we rented Quincy's.

I don't mind the idea of having it at the High School we attended but I'm pretty sure at the CBE you aren't allowed to have booze in the school so that would definitely put a damper on things.

No worries, just get high instead.

Holy crap, what are you doing for your 50th? Excavating the fossilized bones of your teachers and classmates?

Yup, and we were allowed to drink liquor on the site. I don't know if thats changed now, it probably has. But we could go to our old classrooms and have drinks with the teachers. It was a great time.

at our 20th anniversary we buried some stolen nazi art that we found at the 10th anniversary. Then all people at the 20th entered into a Tontine. The last surviving member gets the paintings.

I've managed to kill 10 of them so far.

Ya, Schanks is a good idea, not sure why I didn't think of that.

Did our 10 year at Melrose in 2008. They booked off the whole 2nd level for us until around 11pm, which was fine because then you could hit on all the youngins while wearing your super cool nametag sticker.

Facebook is kind of making these sorts of things less relevant.
Now a days your never really out of touch with people like you used to be.

Facebook makes these things easier to plan.

We did ours at the Simons Valley Ranch. It was good, but slightly pricey.

I feel for you if you're planning it. I had little to no help planning mine, and had to pump about $200 of my own money to get it off the ground. Slightly a nightmare, but the evening was absolutely amazing.

I assume it's much more fun to rub in how much money you have and how you don't live in a trailer like XYZ does now, in person as opposed to on Facebook

We had ours at Brewsters on 11th Ave. They were really good and set aside a really large section for us and gave us our own bar. They have a fairly large building there, so they had no problems dedicating a fair amount of square footage to us. Good beer, good food, fantastic night.
