To Student of

Wandsworth Boys Comprehensive School

Dear Sir

Re: Formal Invitation

School Reunion Classes of 1975 - 1981 and 50th Birthday Celebration

If you are reading this we belief you were once a student of Wandsworth Boys Comprehensive School (WBCS), Sutherland Grove, Southfields, London SW18.

A small group of us got together recently to celebrate a 50th birthday. We had such a good time reflecting, reminiscing and just realising we shared a common history. If you were at WBCS during the years of 1975 and 1981 you are invited to our first reunion and we are celebrating the 50th Birthday of those who were born in the baby boom years of 1963/4. This is not excluding anyone but we are just making a feature as it is a big one for some of us.

We wondered why was our time there such an impacting one; and to briefly summarise, we started WBCS as boys, we journeyed through adolescence some of us with spots as a result of a foreign chemical reaction going on inside us. Onto manhood where we sprouted beards, grew deeper voices and flexed new found muscles. Regardless of race, class, sexual orientation this all solidified our part in a history we shared together.

We are all grown up now, we have forged our way through life despite its challenges, we are living our lives and still experiencing much. We now tell our children stories, who would have thought it!

It has been over 30 years since we were in the same place at the same time. It's been a while since we ran for the 39 or the 168 buses, or got on a coach to Richards and Evans for a game of rugby or some Cross Country or sang in a choir. If this stimulates a load of memories buy a ticket for you and your partner and we promise a great evening. Our time at Wandsworth Boys was special on many levels, so we are inviting you to come and meet up with old friends.

We going to have our PROM night. We are planning a an evening of reflection, celebration, sharing, catch-up dancing and loads of laughter as we check out how much we have changed. There will be a drinks reception, followed by a 3 course meal along with complementary champagne, wine and fruit juice. There will be live entertainment. Everyone will be entered into a prize draw and there will be other prizes and surprises on the night. Professional photos taken on the night and each ticket holder will be entitled to one portrait.

It is unfortunate, but we are at the stage of our lives where it is likely someone we know will be affected by cancer. Therefore we have partnered this event with the charity 'Prostate Cancer UK' and a donation will be made to the charity on the night. We wish to thank them for the work they are doing and will continue to do.

We hope this letter triggers pleasant memories for you as it did for us and hope you will feel encouraged to buy a ticket and come along. We promise it will be a quality evening. Please feel free to bring your partner along.
