THIRTY-FIVE former pupils from the 1951 intake at Tavistock Grammar School and one of their teachers met recently for a reunion lunch.

Inevitably after 65 years, many had moved away from the Tavistock area but they came from far and wide to meet up with their old schools friends at the Two Bridges Hotel — one of them coming from as far away as Tanzania and another from Trinidad.

Several of their spouses were also there and the event was so successful that plans are already in the pipeline for a repeat next year.
