FORMER sportsmen at a Horwich church are being invited to a reunion later this month.
Members of the football, cricket and table tennis teams at St Mary's Catholic Church before 1970, are being invited to the event, at Horwich Conservative Club.
Around 40 former sportsmen from the church, some of whom are now in their late seventies, have already agreed to attend.
Anyone who attended the church at that time and has an interest in its sporting past is also being invited.
Former footballer John Bullock, who has helped to organise the event, said: "These people may not have seen each other for 40 years.
"It is a great chance for them to catch up with each other and reminisce about their time with the church sports club."
The event will be held on September 17 at the conservative club on Church Street, starting at 7.30pm.
For more information call Mr Bullock on 01539 726218.
