Maureen Ross (nee Siviers) writes: "I represent a group of old classmates from the Downs School, Ditchling Road, who left in 1955.

"Thanks to Lost Touch, we have been able to contact old friends from as far afield as Australia and we are having a reunion at the Withdean Sportsman on Saturday, June 3, at 1pm.

"We have been trying very hard to contact our headgirl in our last year there.

"Her name is Ann De Mar. She went to Hove Park School and would be 62 or 63 years old now, as we all are.

"I hope someone out there may be able to help us find her, as time is running out before the reunion.

"A few of the classmates we have found are: Graham Sheppard, Andrew Green, Carol Rideau, Margaret Joy, Evelyn Anning, Theresa Shippam, Beryl Holgate, Sheila Bignell and many more.

"Anyone else who recognises these names and was at school with us would be very welcome."
