Girl talk at the annual
reunion THERE was a lot to talk about when 35 former pupils of Clitheroe Girls’ Grammar School met again on Satur day night. The reunion at the
Moorcock Inn, Waddington, was organised by Mrs Carol Collinge and Miss Gayle Miller for former pupils of the school who left as fifth-year students in 1980. Many had not
seen each other since their schooldays and at the end of an extremely successful evening, they vowed to meet again in five years’ time.
Gayle (26), the
daughter of former Clitheroe licensees Mr Gordon Miller and his wife, Sandra, is now working as a primary staff nurse at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. Carol (27), of
Higher Standen, Clitheroe, is a part-time youth worker in Great Harwood. Pictured are the
former students who travelled many miles to exchange reminiscences of their schooldays.
