Reunion of 1981 class in Ireland: Need help from someone in Reading, Berkshire

I'm a classmate of a gentleman whose widowed mother lives in Reading, Berkshire.  We're having a 40th anniversary reunion of our class group that finished secondary school in a west of Ireland boarding school in 1981.  The reunion is scheduled for Sept 25th.  Until this week, we had no idea what happened to our classmate – his parents were English, so we thought for a while that they and he had moved back to England.   

We learned on Friday that his mother (a widow) now lives on Shinfield Road, Reading, Berkshire (I have the full address).   Unfortunately, we don't have a phone number for the lady. We're running out of time, so we want to reach her asap - if anyone can help we'd be thrilled. The reunion will bring at least two thirds of the class together for the first time in 40 years, so we don’t want to leave any stone unturned in trying to trace our classmate.   

Is there anyone on the forum based in Reading, Berkshire or who has close connections.  Are you likely to be passing that neighbourhood in the next few days and have time to deliver a message to the lady.  Please pm me if you think you can help and I'll provide the full name and address.  Hopefully, she'll be able to provide us with contact details for her son.

Thanks very much.
