SCHOOL REUNION: Around 100 ex-pupils returned to Badsey First School to celebrate 150 years of formal education in Badsey. The event organised by Mrs Elizabeth Spencer and Maureen Spinks included a rendition of the school song by current pupils, a birthday cake, and the taking of commemorative photographs. Ex-pupils were given a guided tour of the classrooms to view the latest technology now present in a modern school.

BOOK QUIZ WINNER: Helen Welch was the winner of the quiz set at the recent book launch of the Badsey Society publication, Heads and Tales by Maureen Spinks. Helen received her prize, a framed painting of the Old School, especially commissioned for the book, from its artist, Ian Gibson.
