The End of an Era
Grand Re-union of ALL Past Students of Nettlebed School
Nettlebed Village School which has served the village for over 70 years, will
close it’s doors in January 2006, after which it will be demolished to make way
for a housing development.
Present schoolchildren will be relocated to the new school which is being built
on the old school’s grounds.
To mark this memorable occasion a GRAND RE-UNION of all
past students , both young and old, was held on
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4th.2006 in the old
school with a visit to the recently completed new school.
The principal organiser Sue Worth, ably assisted by many of her contemporaries
assembled a vast crowd of past students of all ages and former staff to come
together to celebrate the occasion. Many came from some distance and all enjoyed
meeting up with old friends.
Below are some photos taken on the day and a photo montage of the old school.
