School reunion planned during three-day celebration
Published Date:

A CLOCK tower which was once out of bounds will be opened up for a Harrogate school reunion this weekend.
Ashville College headteacher Andrew Fleck will give a guided tour of the building - closed off in 1983 - at a three day celebration marking the end of the academic year.
Organised by the school, Friends of Ashville and Ashvillian Society, the weekend features a traditional Speech Day at the Harrogate International Centre, junior and senior sports days, summer fair, teachers and old pupils' reception, leavers party and memorial service.
Ashvillian Society Vice President David Simister said: "This year we have the added treat of being given an official tour of the clock tower. In my day it was strictly out of bounds and anyone caught up there was dealt with most severely.
"However, that didn't deter countless pupils' from sneaking up there to leave their mark on the walls in either pencil or ink."
