Former IBM employees gather at Winchester's Royal Hotel to celebrate the award of the MBE to Sandy Kara in the Queen's New Year Honours.
Sandy, from Bishop's Waltham, received the honour from the Queen for her 30 years of charitable work with the town's minibus group.
The former work colleagues first met in the '60s while working in the computer room at Hursley Park and totalled up a service record of over 240 years between them.
At the reunion, there were many recollections of happy memories. All agreed it had been beyond their wildest dreams that most homes would one day have their own personal computer and one of their colleagues would meet the Queen to receive an MBE.
In the picture are Hazel Dossett, Madeleine Henry, Diane Clowes, Pru King, Sandy Kara, Mavis Farmer, Ann Underhill, Nora Bushrod, Wendy Pursey and Janet Richardson.
