- A 40 year reunion for those leaving the 6th form in 1967, will be held lunch
time on Saturday 20 October 2007 at The Plank & Leggit near Sawley Marina.
Organiser Stephen Ford says: " We don't want to be too exclusive. Anyone
who was either in the 6th form in 1967 (i.e. L6, U6-1 or U6-2) or anyone of
the same age group but who left at the end of 5th form, are eligible to come.
Wives/husbands are welcome - but not mandatory! It would be helpful if anyone
who plans to come would let me know at least two or three days beforehand,
so that we can warn the P & L how many 58/59 year old hooligans are about
to descend on them! Contact Stephen on 01626 866988 or email address which
is on the Forum.

- 5 more photos from David Wardell's archive. These are probably the last
to appear on the web site. I have others that are unpublished, but they are
either similar to ones already published or not pertinent to the School.
I had hoped to reach the end of publishing David's pictures whilst he was alive.
I know he enjoyed seeing them published and hearing the feedback from them.
There may have been more - but that we shall never know.
