THE first pupils to ever attend Ridgeway Middle School in Astwood Bank in 1958 are being invited to a reunion at the school.

Former pupil Marlene Burns (nee Hartles), of Woodrow, is organising the event and urged all pupils who attended what was then Ridgeway Secondary Modern between 1958 and 1960 to get in touch.

The event on April 9 will be held at the school and includes a buffet and disco.

Mrs Burns said all the pupils who attended the school at that time would be about 60 now.

She is also hoping to track down memorabilia from those years for a display

Anyone interested in buying a ticket, which costs £5, can call Mrs Burns on 455731 or Christine Cope on 01386 552496.
