A REUNION for anyone born or brought up in Crookhall, near Consett, in the 1940s and 1950s is being organised.

There will also be a brief presentation of the 800-year history of the village, and a buffet.

The history has been researched by villager John Dixon, who is hoping to publish a book on the subject.

Organisers say numbers will be limited for the event in July.

They need to have some idea of how many will attend.

Call Mr Dixon on (01207) 582964, or Christine Lee (nee Cummings) on (01207) 507958.
