A Fenland club has held its first reunion in Wisbech more than four decades since it was launched.
The 18+ Group held the event at Wisbech Rugby Club, 42 years since the group first met in the Glendon Hotel in 1976.
It was attended by 63 people with four of the original members present including its first chairman Gary Monger.
Members travelled from as far away as Lancaster and Southend on Sea to attend the get together.
A hog roast and disco were enjoyed by those present together with photos relayed onto a screen of past events.

There were weekly meetings together with weekend activities, and national events like Caister weekend at Easter and the Bedford raft race.
