With another year having gone by it is almost time for the old boys of Rastrick Grammar School to meet for another annual Old Rastrickians' Association dinner. I am sure many of its members will be thinking just how quick they come around. Even after so many of these annual gatherings it is still an event they all look forward to.
This year's event will no doubt have many of the usual ingredients ensuring it will be a great night. It will give the members of the association the opportunity to catch up with old school mates, share memories and no doubt a few well-worn tall stories as well. This is a wonderful annual tradition and long may it continue.

This photograph is dated December 2, 1994, when this new cafe was formally opened by the Mayor of Calderdale Councillor Stephen Pearson. Here he is with the owner Colin Wandby standing outside the new cafe. Sadly by September 2000 the cafe had closed down.
