SALTASH Comprehensive School, now known as Saltash Community School, held a reunion on Saturday evening at the school hall - with around 200 attending and recalling schooldays.
The reunion was for those pupils who left in l981, l982 and l983, and some travelled a fair distance to attend, Rachael Jones making the journey from Spain, and Andrew Egeuneke from London.
This, the first such event for ten years, was organised by Kaye Bonner, Sarah George, Liz Fedrick, Sarahjane Pendered and Alison Walsh. Music for the disco was provided by Neil Gray and Five Star Disco.
Friends of the present school, Kathy Lyne and her team, organised refreshments. Proceeds of the evening will be divided between Friends of the School funds, and current pupil Sarah Louise Weeks who is suffering from MS and is hoping to go on a trip to Euro-Disney near Paris.
Teacher Bill Ryan also attended the celebrations on Saturday evening, the fun going on from 7pm to midnight.
