FORMER Malmesbury Grammar School pupil Pat Bunton is planning a reunion of her old classmates.

She is looking for pupils who left the school between 1962 and 1966.

Mrs Bunton, ne Smith, 56, who now lives in North Bradley near Trowbridge, is holding the get-together on June 28 at the King's Arms in Malmesbury.

She said she has been on the phone and on the Internet trying to catch up with some old school chums.

So far, Mrs Bunton said she had contacted around 40 former pupils, some from as far a field as Australia, but was looking for as many as possible for the gathering.

"There was a big reunion a few years ago and a few of us have kept in touch in and around Malmesbury," she said.

"We decided last year that it would be a good idea to get together again."

Mrs Bunton said it had been great fun talking to old friends, some of whom she had not spoken to since she was at school.

"It has been very exciting and it has been really nice to talk to so many people I haven't spoken to since I left school," she said.

"I have got in contact with as many people as I can.

"I have had a fair response and even had an ex-teacher get in contact, but I would like to hear from as many former pupils who left between 1962 and 1966 as possible.

"A very small proportion live in Malmesbury, Swindon and Wiltshire, with a large proportion dispersed across the county and some outside the country."
