The Reunion Committee had a meeting today. It was decided the next Reunion will be held on Saturday, 2 October 2010 at the Talbot Hotel in Southport. More details will be published when available.

At the Reunion yesterday (10 October), Mr Henderson was given the honour of becoming President of the Reunion Association. He accepted this and promised to do the best he could to support future events.

This year’s Reunion was a sell-out with about 120 people attending. Former staff Mr & Mrs Wood and Mrs Goodall came along as well as Mr Henderson. Mrs Furness had sent a message to say she was sorry Mr Furness couldn’t be there for health reasons, but they were both thinking of everyone.

A fuller report will be published soon, and photos from the event may be available to view as well.
