This year is the centenary of the Open Air School that was established in Buck Wood in 1908, for delicate children from Bradford's slums.On Saturday September 13th, from 11a.m. to 4.p.m we're having an Open Day at the site of the school, when we'll be showing people around the site.We'll have displays of photographs (such as the one shown here, of some of the earliest pupils in the school having lessons in the Wood), and of objects that the Friends have found while excavating the site.We'll also be selling the new book published by the Friends, 'The School in the Wood' which tells the story of the School and its pupils.Other parts of the event are still being planned, but we're hoping for good weather on the day, otherwise we'll be squeezed under a gazebo trying to keep everything reasonably dry, and realising what the Open Air School pupils sometimes had to put up with!CA
