FORMER members of a wartime youth squadron enjoyed a reunion dinner so much they hope to make it an annual event.

Ferryhill Masonic Hall hosted the event for former members of the Air Training Corps, Girls Training Corps and a badminton club based at the town's Broom School, during the Forties

Organiser Glenys Rowe, nee Stoddart, said the 22 people who got together for the reunion last Wednesday hope to hold a similar event every August.

She said: "Some of us had not seen each other for 60 years.

"It was a very good do, a lovely meal and chance to reminisce about old times, what we did and what we cannot do anymore."
