On 20th September the Bristol Evening Post Newspaper did a nice double page spread with the headline - "Still great in the great outdoors". It featured colour photos of pupils from Ashton Gate Primary School and detailed some of the activities they undertook.
On 29th September Simon Partridge, teacher at Ashton Gate and pupil Luke were guests in the studio of BBC Radio Bristol. Ian Healey, Centre Manager of DFSC joined them on the phone and they were interviewed live by the radio presenter Ali Vowles. Ian talked about how later in the day we were celebrating our 40th Anniversary.
Then we had the big celebration itself:
We had a nice big cake with edible photo icing!
A great buffet prepared by our fantastic cooks Jane and Karen
The Lord Mayor of Bristol attended and cut the cake.

Lots of other guests young and old also had a go
Guests were given a complimentary Anniversary Mug as a souvenir of the day. Afterall if it's good enough for the Queen....
It was an enjoyable day in which we celebrated the last 40 years and also looked forward to the next 40.
