Venue: Wigston College, Station Rd, Wigston LE18 2DS
As many will know, 2018 marks 70 years since the music service and LSSO were founded by Eric Pinkett. As part of the planned celebrations for our 70th year, an LSSO Reunion will be taking place on Saturday 24th March at Wigston College (formerly Guthlaxton College).
Dick Hallam has sent out an email regarding the general plan of the day but here is a reminder; of course we want the day to be fairly fluid and for people to have the chance to chat over old times with friends, but we felt it needed some structure (if only for logistics!). It is hoped that there will be a variety of photos, videos and general memorabilia for guests to look at.
