Organisers of a school reunion are still looking for 27 former pupils they are unable to trace.

Workington Grammar School's class of 1957 are invited to a reunion in April to coincide with members reaching the age of 70.

It is also a chance for the 120 former pupils to say goodbye to the old grammar school building at Stainburn, which is due to be demolished to make way for the new Workington Academy building.

But organisers are still looking for 27 people they are unable to track down.

Gordon McCullough, of Harrington, one of the organisers, said: "The committee would like to urge friends and family of other 1957 starters to contact us."

On the day, photographs of the four starter classes, of the hockey, netball, tennis, rugby and cricket teams, together with original copies of the Wyrkentonian, the grammar school's monthly magazine, and memorabilia will be on display. 

The reunion will take place at the Helena Thompson Museum, on Park End Road, on Friday April 29.
