Thomas Peacocke celebrates its centenary with three days of reunions this weekend.
A big reunion takes place on Friday for pupils who went to the school in the 1950's 60's and 70's.

This is followed, on Saturday by a second reunion for those who attended Thomas Peacocke in the 1980's and 90's, right up until 2005.

A special
lunch takes place on Sunday for Jacobite pupils who were evacuated from Rye to Bedford during the Second World War.

Jacobites are pupils who attended the college under the headship of Mr A.R. Jacobs, from 1933 - 1958.

The reunion on Friday takes place at Thomas Peacocke from 7pm - 11.30pm and includes a big-screen photo show, tours of the college, a buffet supper and a dance with sounds from the 50's to 70's.

Richard Moore, of Rye Old Scholars Association, said: "There has been a cupboard filled to the brim with photos from all decades.

"With the use of a scanner we have produced our own epic presentation of school photos, sports events, outings and six form groups.

"This is something to celebrate our past. We were all proud to be at Rye, at whatever decade we attended, and all have many memories we wish to share and enjoy with our contempories."

The reunion on Saturday also takes place at the college and includes a buffet, disco and well stocked bar.
This will also feature a big-screen photo show and tours of the college.
It runs from 7pm - midnight.

Tickets for the reunions are priced £10 and are available from The Mermaid, on 01797 223065; William Bros, on 01797 222219 or Colin Turner on 0785 6065299.

Any profits from the reunions will go directly to the school.

The Jacobite Lunch, on Sunday, is being held at the Mermaid from noon.
Also taking place on Sunday is a cricket match which sees the Old Scholar's Association taking on Rye Sunday XI.

The match is 40 overs a side and takes place on Rye Salts from 2pm.
