ST MARY’S College in Blackburn is celebrating its 90th year by asking past students to a special dinner.

The meal will take place on Saturday, September 19, and tickets cost £25. Tickets must be purchased by September 10.

The college is also appealing for its former students to come forward to share their memories, photographs and anecdotes as part of a new alumni community.

It has teamed up with the education charity Future First to help reconnect with its past students to help support the current student body as well as assisting in creating a booklet showcasing the last 90 years.

The college also hopes to install a museum space within the college where some items of memorabilia will be displayed.

A spokesman said: “If you have any items you wouldn’t mind sending us on loan for the day or donating to us on permanent loan, we would love to include them.”
