FORMER pupils of the now demolished Bridley Moor School from 1953-1957 are being invited to a school reunion.
Anyone who attended the school during that time is being asked to get in touch with Alan Giles, the former pupil arranging the reunion, so people can catch up and re-live old memories.
Mr Giles said: “It’s 50 years since we left school this year and it would be very nice if we could all meet again.
“I urge my fellow classmates to please try to make it.”
The reunion, including music and a buffet, will be at the HDA Club, Batchley, on Saturday, May 12.
For more details, call 404062 or 01970 880363.
