Friends reunited: March Hereward School reunion sees 50 of class of '79 attend

The second school reunion held by the former Hereward School's Class of 79 was attended by 50 former pupils.
It followed a previous reunion 20 years ago in 1999.

One of the organisers Beverley Bolton set up a Facebook group page for the Class of 79 in late February this year. Along with Beverley; Maggie Doncaster and Craig Brand helped track down as many class mates as possible for the reunion which was held at March Town Cricket Club on September 21.

A disco of 70s music from the pupils' school years by Vernon Harley brought back memories of their time at the March school; with a special dedication song to celebrate their school friends no longer able to be to attend.

The evening was a great success and those who attended were in full support of having another reunion in 18-24 months.

Craig and Beverley said: "Unfortunately with no record of those starting Hereward in September 1974 we know we have not managed to contact all our school year. Anyone we have not contacted who wishes to know about future reunions can contact our email address hereward1979@gmail.com or via the Facebook page 'Class of 79 Hereward Comprehensive School'."
