Staff who retired from Maryport's Netherhall School are holding a reunion.

Former deputy head, Peter Clinning, head of upper school June Langstaff, and head of the lower school, Lilian Farrer decided to hold the reunion after meeting for dinner one evening.

Mrs Langstaff said: "We tend to meet up at occasions like a colleague's funeral and decided it would be lovely to get together and have time to remember and talk about old times in a relaxed, informal setting."

She said an invitation has gone out to as many people who could be contacted but she wants to hear from anyone who organisers have not been able to find.

"We are stipulating that this is a reunion for people who retired from Netherhall to keep numbers manageable. But it is for anyone in that category, not just teachers. We are looking for office staff, nurses, kitchen staff - anyone who worked there."

The reunion will be held at Hundith Hill Hotel, near Cockermouth, on Wednesday August 26.

Anyone wishing to attend can call 01900 822797, 01900 810650 or 01900 812687.
