Some members of the Sudbury Local History Group will be at the Gasworks tomorrow between 10 and 3 in hope of past pupils of Sudbury School dropping in to share their memories and any photos they might have from their school days.
We plan to make the next Gasworks exhibition all about the School and its history, and so all ex-pupils have a big contribution to make...if they are willing to share
their memories with us.
The bonus for going along tomorrow is the plant fair which is also being held outside the Gasworks...plus the opportunity to enjoy cake and coffee and meet people you might not have seen for a while!
PS: The History team won't need to keep your photos..the photos can be digitised and saved in the Group's archive.
