In 1963 a group of girls got together after attending a Beatles concert and formally pledged to meet again. They signed a document on the 22nd October 1963 that they would meet again on 6th November 1983 under the Portico of All Saints Church at 7pm, bringing with them any children or other acquisitions of the past twenty years. Seven girls signed this "Declaration of Friendship" but in practice 8 girls got together for the reunion in 1983. The original 7 were:- |

At the reunion they carried out their pledge and brought along 7 husbands, one fiancée, and a total of 14 children. At the time they came from Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Cheshire and Malaya, as well as Northampton. They met at the Playhouse.
This picture of their first reunion appeared in the Chronicle and Echo.
