A GROUP of former pub regulars who took part in a charity event 25 years ago are getting together for a grand reunion.

About 30 people who used to drink in The Parkside in Bury Old Road, Prestwich raised £1,600 back in 1978 for the Pat Seed Cancer Appeal. They took part in a 13-hour pram push along a 50-mile route from Prestwich to Southport.

And now one of them, Tom Smith, is trying to get as many as possible back together on the same day - June 10.

Said Tom: "It was a pretty tough thing to do, but we raised what was a lot of money in those days. Many of us have moved on, so I thought it would be good to have a reunion 25 years to the day since we did it."

The reunion will be held at The Parkside from about 8pm. Anyone who took part in the pram push is welcome to just turn up or to ring Tom on 0161 773 3326 for more details.
