disagree  Sarah McDowell: A reunion is a type of meeting. To say "reunion meeting" is, in my opinion, overly repetitive. For example, "date meeting" or "Friday day"

disagree  Igor Kondrashkin: Incorrect: as follows from the Russian original, only ONE reunion party was held for ALL of the classes, not several reunions
2 hrs
  -> You're right. It should be singular. My mistake.
disagree  Sarah McDowell: My comment is the same as Igor said above - it's not plural. There is only one event for all 3 graduating classes. Also, the word вечер (evening) is not conveyed in the translation at all. It's important to note that the event will be held in the evening.

neutral  danya: the thing is, it's not just 00, 05 and 10 classes - it's for all surviving school-leavers, but these classes celebrate a "round" anniversary - 15, 10, 5 years
