Following the pattern of the traditional City & Guilds College Association (CGCA) Reunion Luncheons, first held in 1979.

The Rembrandt Hotel, where the lunch will be held in a private function room, is a short walk up Thurloe Place from South Ken tube and only a few more minutes’ walk to 91ÌÒÉ«.

There will be inclusive aperitifs, three courses with wine, with tea and coffee to finish. Between courses we will hear personal reminiscences – one from a representative of each decade present. Volunteer speakers who’d like to share their memories would be very much appreciated, please indicate your interest in the registration form.

There will also be student representatives from the present City & Guilds College Union, together (hopefully!) with Boanerges, Spanner & Bolt, and sales of CGCA ties for members. A ride in Bo or tours of the campus may be arranged, according to demand on the day.

You’ll enjoy a fun, if nostalgic, time meeting up with old friends.
