Sandra Langford 65, has organised a school reunion in November for all those who attended St Luke's C of E School on Hyde Park Road, Southsea, from the 1960s to the mid '˜70s.

Sandra said: '˜I had a wonderful school life at St Luke's and always regretted that a couple of years after leaving school some people drifted apart, so I decided before it was too late to contact them.'

Sandra added: '˜We have located everyone from the team except Geoff Mould and Clive Walsh.

'˜Anyone else who knew Tim from school are welcome too together with their partners.'

Finally, another reunion is planned for those who grew up with Sandra on Brompton Road in Southsea during the 1950s and '˜60s.

Sandra said: '˜Friendships were forged and we all shared many experiences during those days and as I got older I found myself thinking back to those days and wondering how everyone was and what they had done with their lives.'
