If you are aged 66 or 67 and attended Francis Bacon School, as it was then called, you are invited to a reunion which will take place on May 18 from 2.30pm at St Albans Rugby Club, Oaklands Lane.

Contact information removed as this is long past.

Apparently the organisers have contacted 80 out of 130 in that year which is really quite remarkable, for many reasons, after 50 years. Hope it is a big success.

Would I attend, if I qualified? Difficult to answer, I made no lasting friendships from my years at the school and, though it would be fascinating to hear how my fellow pupils have fared in life, I cannot quite see much point. I hope that people attending will remember that none of us are the people we were back then.
