Hereson reunion
A reunion for class 1B1 who attended Hereson School in 1954 will take place next April following an appeal by former pupil Sid Anning.
All classmates will be 80 come next year and to celebrate this Sid has organised the class reunion to take place at the Racing Greyhound pub in Hereson Road from 1pm-3.30pm on April 1 next year.
Sid put out an appeal in The Isle of Thanet News earlier this year to track down his former classmates.
He said: “I have been lucky to find a few more, but would like to get as many as I can if possible.
“Once I have a name I can go to Ancestry (UK) and have found a few that way, but would like a lot more. Sadly, some have passed away.”

Serenaders Ladies Choir
Following a very successful Summer Concert in July the Serenaders Ladies’ Choir are, as the saying goes ”back in business.”
Our charity concert held in July was very well supported and we are delighted to have raised £814 which the Cheerful Sparrows Thanet charity were thrilled to receive.
During the next few weeks the choir have several events arranged. In September we have been invited to sing at a local Care Home and have more events arranged between now and Christmas, when of course our annual Christmas Carol Concert is to be held at St Philips Church in Palm Bay on Saturday 17th December at 2.30pm.
Ladies, if you can sing, and fancy being part of a friendly team that has raised thousands of pounds for charity, having fun whilst doing it, then please get in touch with our Musical Director Janice Regan on 01843 224027 or our publicity officer Chris Buffrey on 07711938373 email: ch[email protected] All you need is a love of music and an ability to sing in tune.
