Bob, I realised a few weeks ago that the 75th Anniversary of the opening of Accrington High School is on 8th September 2014. I have contacted Accrington Academy, which includes the former High School buildings, to ask whether we could hold the Reunion in School on either Saturday 6th or 13th September 2014 - no reply as yet! I have been posting in the Accrington High School Facebook Page and occasionally on Friends Reunited. When I have a definite venue and date I'll advertise more widely. I've just really been ascertaining interest at this stage. As I've just become Mayor of Hyndburn I've other things to occupy me at present! The Reunion will be for anyone who was a pupil at Accrington High School for Girls at any time between 1939 and 1975 - at the one extreme any girls who transferred from the Grammar School to the High School in 1939 and at the other extreme any girls who entered the High School in 1974, the year before it became Moorhead High School.
