A big family reunion will take place in Bledington village hall, near Chipping Norton, on Saturday, May 5.

More than 100 people from all over the country will be travelling to the village.

All are related through five sisters and brothers who were born and lived in the village at the turn of the century - Edith, Lydia, Hetty, Freda, Leah and Harry Bolter. The reunion is being organised by Graham Harris, 71, of The Green, Bledington, whose mother was Edith Bolter.

Mr Harris said: "We had our first gathering in 1999 and it was so successful everyone wanted another one. I have 22 first cousins.

"The family has grown and spread over the years."
