LAST year, we held a 1950s reunion for ex-students of Nelson Grammar School. It was a great success, with 180 old friends attending.

This autumn we are planning a follow-up and are hoping for an even greater response.

We are extending the invitation to all ex-students of Nelson Grammar School, whatever their vintage.

The school ceased to be NGS in 1972, so anyone who attended the school prior to that date is eligible. We hope for a minimum of 200 being present.

If you know the whereabouts of any ex-students among family and friends, please get in touch.

The evening of November 8 will be the date and the venue is Turf Moor, Burnley. Further details and ticket arrangements can be had from me. We already have friends coming from Canada, Scotland and London. Do join us.
