Ex-pupils of the former Bar Grammar School, in Nunnery Lane, York, are invited to a reunion next month.

Sam Pugh and a group of friends who all started at the school in 1979, are organising a get-together for their year group at the Railway Institute Sports Club in Acomb on May 5.

Sam said the idea had started after she and another former pupil, Becky Myers (nee Lowe), who now work together for Norwich Union, started talking about a reunion.

Then a small group got together in the autumn of 1999 and the big reunion for May was arranged. Former pupils and teachers are invited. If you would like to go along phone Sam on 07950 969543.
