Mile Oak revisited

11:56am Monday 12th May 2008


David Elliott emails: "It is intended to have a reunion of all those who lived or were born in Mile Oak in the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s.

"On the evening of Sunday, July 27, we would like - for old times' sake - the gathering to consist only of the Original Mile-Oakers.

"On the Monday morning, July 28, family members and guests will be welcome when a circular walk of the haunts we all remember so well will be revisited. We will finish at the pub in time for a snack.

"Any old' Mile-Oakers who read this and would like to come to the reunion can obtain more information from Mary Smith (nee Elliott), email MPythonEsq@aol.com or Pat Peeters (nee Bunting) email ppd@hetnet."
