FORMER Dudley Girls High School pupils are being urged to reconnect with old friends at a reunion event later this year.

The event will take place at The Lodge, Wellington Road, and is open to anyone who started in 1969.

Friends Levene Brown (formerly Parsons), Fiona Duncan and Joyce Somauroo (formerly Cotterill), who have organised the event, hope to see lots of familiar faces at the reunion, which will take place between 5pm and 10pm on October 15.

Mrs Brown said: "It'll be really nice to see everyone. We're asking them to bring along a momento from school if they have one."

Anyone who wants to find out more should visit the Facebook page Dudley Girls High School Reunion, email levene_brown@hotmail.co.uk or call 01384 395033.
