Schools in Portsmouth and Hampshire: Former students at Warblington School in Havant host a reunion

Friends, Kerry and Lisa, have been trying to track down people that they went to school with as youngsters in order to get them to attend the reunion shindig.

Kerry Little came up with the idea and she got Lisa involved in the organisation.

The reunion is being held at Emsworth Sports and Social Club on June 17 from 6.30pm and the evening will consist of drinks, music from the 80s and a catch-up.

The pair have already managed to secure about 40 confirmations from people who will be attending, but they are also hoping to see people from the years above and below.

Lisa said: ‘We left when we were 16 in 1983 so it is the 40-year reunion since we left.

‘It is all about getting everyone to come so we are trying to make contact with people – we have got about 40 people but it is trying to contact people so we thought we would try this. We are just seeing if anyone from our year and even the year below and above because you hang around with people from different years too.

‘There are a lot of people that we haven’t seen since we left and we just want to have a fun night and have a catch-up. I think we have lost a few on the way so we are going to be remembering them as well.’

If you went to Warblington School, left in 1983 and would like to attend the reunion, email Lisa or Kerry on [email protected].
