Cottingham School Reunion - 18 October 2008 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Over 100 schoolmates from near and far descended on the Village Hall Annex on 18 October for a reunion of former pupils of the old Cottingham School, which used to stand in School Lane, Cottingham.
School pals of all ages included mere youngsters such as Sally Shannon and Alison Sear, who were in the last intake in the 1970s, and Gladys Tuffs, Elsie Acaster and Meg Dolby, otherwise known as the Tilley sisters (picture 2 below), who first went through the school gates in the 1920s and are all now in their 90s!
The tables were overflowing with photos, schoolbooks and other memorabilia while the air was thick with stories of past schooldays and long lost chums meeting up for the first time in decades.
The reunion, organised by Irene Beadsworth and Pam Moore, also raised a tidy £215 for the local Air Ambulance into the bargain.
