A TROWBRIDGE pre-school celebrating its 35th birthday next month is calling on past pupils, teachers and committee members to join the party.

St Thomas' Pre-school, based in the church hall off Timbrell Street, is planning a huge party next month to mark the occasion.

Committee secretary Sarah Moody said she hoped some of the original attendees from 1969 would come along.

"It would be the icing on the cake for our celebrations," she said.

"As one of the oldest pre-schools in west Wiltshire, I think we can be proud of our long history and of our close links to the community. Any photographs or memories that people have would be gratefully received."

A teddy bears' picnic, games, entertainment and a cake will be laid on for the event on July 16.

To attend, contact group leader Lisa Jackson on 07989 302662.
