Despite a lower attendance than last year, those that came to this year’s Reunion enjoyed themselves and were happy to be there. The event was once again held at the Southport Coaster and although Storm Amy tried to disrupt things, it didn’t dampen everyone’s spirits.

Thanks go to the staff at the Coaster for making sure we were looked after, and to Lourdes Deli for providing an excellent buffet.

Below are some photos from the event, with thanks to Jane Wolstenholme for allowing us to share. (Click on an image to view bigger picture)
