MORE than half a century later, ten old boys from Newton Junior Technical School enjoyed a special reunion. They were members of the school's S-Class (1950-52) who met at the Pied Bull Hotel, Newton.
Now, another meeting has been scheduled for August. And, says Colin (Joe) Lomax: "We are trying to locate the following seven, who all originally lived in the Newton area."
Already located
They are: Artie Johnson, Charlie McClean, Ged Gerrity, Derek Dilworth, Brian Pope (from the motorbike-shop family), Nixy Brown and John Littler.
Colin, from Ashton Road, Newton, says that former classmates already located thus far are: Jack Eckersley, Brian Marsh, Eric Blundell, Harry Dale, Peter Hignett, Cliff Gibson, John Welsby, Arthur Barnes and himself.
Says Colin: "Maybe some of the lads have moved from the area, or sadly are not with us. But hopefully, one or two are still around."
