Andrew Leatham of Belmont writes: I am trying to trace an old school mate Bill Bibby.

Bill was a pupil at St James's C of E secondary school in Farnworth, and like me, he was one of the school's first intake in 1960.

Bill lived in Greenfold Avenue, New Bury, and had a younger brother Amos and an older sister Rose.

He left St James's in 1964 and I think joined the National Coal Board (NCB) as an apprentice mining electrician.

I also think he married a girl whose parents lived in Plodder Lane, Farnworth, next door to the sub-Post Office, opposite St George's Church and they lived in the Ringley/Stoneclough area for a while.

As this is the 50th anniversary, a reunion has been planned for Saturday, November 20, in the Masonic Hall, Francis Street, Farnworth, starting at 7.30pm.

It would be great to see him there and catch up.

Any news of Bill would be appreciated.
