1940s-1950s Reunion on 12th January 2002

Judith Crawford (née Tyrrell) and her husband Tony advertised in the Leatherhead Advertiser on 6th December 2001, on this website and through the School Newsletter that former Therfield School pupils who were among the first to attend when it opened 50 years ago were being sought for a reunion.

Anyone who attended the Leatherhead secondary school during the late 1940s and early 1950s was invited to celebrate the anniversary of the Dilston Road school on January 12th 2002. In fact the net proved to be a little wider!

"FIFTY YEARS ON"
A reunion was held on Saturday 12th January 2002 at Therfield School, Dilston Road, Leatherhead, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the school opening.

Nearly sixty guests attended including former pupils who left school between 1948 and 1975. One special guest was former teacher Mr Stan Lane who taught some of those present.

They travelled from far and wide to be there, from as far away as Cornwall, Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk. The evening was a great success with some people meeting up for the first time in 50 years, catching up and reminiscing about "the good old days". The evening culminated with a buffet and a photo call.
