30 Years Out Reunion for Class of 77 SHS

John Byrne is helping with some vintage backing tracks. Suggest turning up from 8.15. We have the room until around 12.15/ 12/30. Please come earlier rather than later. No point in turning up at 11.00 from somewhere else and then deciding that actually this is fun. Please turn up early.
