Local worthy Lady Lucinda Somerton is looking to revive both hall and community by organising a reunion - for those with happy memories of the Youth Association stretching back decades. A generous benefactor will be guest of honour. But how will that benefactor be received by those who can remember how things were in days gone by? |
