THE Blackford Bridge United Reformed Church, formerly the Congregational Church, are celebrating their 150th birthday on Sunday, June 6.

To mark the occasion, after the morning service at 10.45am, there will be a buffet and reunion of former church and Sunday school attenders. But we need more names and addresses of people who have had an association with the church to enable us to extend an invitation to them to join in this event. I would be pleased to hear from anyone and can be contacted at 491 Manchester Road, Bury BL9 9SH (tel: 0161 766 2333).

PETER COLE,

church secretary.
