“Some of the attendees had not been in contact for a long time, so it was great catching up,” co-organiser Phil Maslen told News Of The Area.

“A 50-year reunion is a milestone worth celebrating.

“We had to have name tags; people had changed over the years,” he said with a laugh.

The group enjoyed dinner at the Gloucester Bowling Club and continued their celebrations at a breakfast in Billabong Park.

“There were so many stories to tell, and one dinner didn’t give us enough time.

“Many of the group have had fascinating lives.”

The gathering also included a moment of remembrance for classmates who have passed away.

“It makes you reflect on your life and the importance of gatherings like this.”

When asked if there would be another reunion in ten years, Phil suggested, “Maybe every two years might be a better idea.”
