FORMER school pals had a lot of catching up to do when they got together 40 years after first starting at Accrington Girls High School.

More than 30 past pupils attended a reunion which was held at the Oaklea Club in Whalley Road, Accrington.

Four teachers and a laboratory technician also joined in.

The group was given a tour of the school which is now the Cromwell building at Moorhead High School.

Organiser Judith Addison said: "Our year started in 1960 and this is the first time we have got together so we had a lot of catching up to do.

"We hope to get even more past pupils together for another reunion in five years."
