A boys' Brigade is asking for former members to help celebrate the company's 75th anniversary.

The 2nd Consett Boys' Brigade, which was the 1st Consett Company when formed in 1926, will have a special church service in November, and a display at Consett Civic Centre next year. It is trying to trace as many past members as possible to invite them to the events.

Anyone with information is asked to write to the 2nd Consett Company, Consett Methodist Church, Station Road, Consett, DH8 5RL.
