CRADLEY is uniting for a school reunion with a difference.

Former pupils of Homer Hill Secondary Modern are inviting local schools and community groups to join them at their upcoming ‘Cradley United’ reunion.

The free annual event regularly sees more than 70 former classmates of the school – which went on to become Cradley High School – reunite.

Organiser John Garratt said: “Friendships will be renewed and new ones formed, all helping in bringing the community together.

“Cradley United is an apt name for this gathering, and an even larger number of guests are expected.”

The event will take place at Wilson Hall in Colley Gate on Thursday, September 13, starting at 7.30pm.

Mr Garratt added: “Yet another good night is in prospect, with food available and background music from the 50s to present day to help the night along.

“So come along early and enjoy a really pleasant evening.”
