A FORMER engineer at the ex-Terry’s factory in York is organising a big reunion at a city club.

Dave Blackwell, who worked at the factory in Bishopthorpe Road between 1974 and its closure in 2005, is inviting all former colleagues along to the free event at the New York Working Mens Club in Blossom Street at 7.30pm on Friday.

He said he administered a Facebook page for former employees which now had 463 members and he decided to organise the get-together after many requests, with people saying they only ever seemed to get to meet up at funerals.

“If successful I will look to do it again next year,” he added.
