Local history groups
September 2013 will see the 75th Anniversary of the school on the current site. We had great Reunions to celebrate the 60th anniversary in 1998 and the 65th in 2003. How about another in 2013? Mel looks forward to hearing from the ‘Old Sodburians’: pupil 1956–1963, teacher 1970–2005, governor 2008–2011.

SGMRG is a voluntary organisation that relies on grants and donations from local people. Our membership is made up of archaeologists, surveyors, historians, engineers, cavers and those simply interested in finding more about what lies under their feet.
We have regular meetings, walks and talks including the opportunity to get involved in exploration, archaeology and resotoration work. If you would like more information contact the Chairman Roger Gosling by email or on 01454 883607.
