Former pupils and staff of the King Edward VI Grammar School, Retford and the King Edward VI School, Retford are reminded to join The Old Retfordians Association (ORA) at their next Zoom meeting on Wednesday 19th January 2022 at 8.00pm.
As reported last month, the ORA has recently been revived with a new Council and Constitution and they would like to attract new members by publicising and emphasising that camaraderie, the ability to revive old school friendships, and having fun in reminiscing about adolescence.
As well as organising their quarterly Zoom meetings, they hold annual reunions. Join the group for free and find the link to their January meeting on www.oldretfordians.org.uk.
Also on the web page are lots of old photos of the school, its staff, and pupils over the years. There are also copies of the school magazine, The Retfordian, which are also available to read at Bassetlaw Museum.
There is also a Facebook page ‘King Edward VI Grammar School, Retford, Notts’ where you can also register. This is separate from the website and ORA, though obviously connected by subject. The Facebook page is also open to ex-High School girls as well as ex-pupils from other Retford schools.
Membership of the ORA doesn’t grant membership of the Facebook page and vice versa, although acceptance would be guaranteed following separate applications.
Personal contact can also be made by emailing the Secretary ORA, Peter Holdsworth (1955-62), at oldretfordians@gmail.co.uk.
