If you have any problems returning the forms before this date, or any questions about old boys, please drop Matt an email.
What we have planned….
Friday 28th - The Vernon Arms will be open from 7.00pm until 12.00pm
Karaoke will be back by popular demand, and tickets will be on sale for Planet of Sound (though this is a bit different this year & is no longer in the DSU)
Saturday 29th - Old Boys Formal 8pm, Bop from 10pm onwards
Sunday 30th - 11.00am Eucharist service in the college chapel
Also going on……
The Chaplain, Jonathan Lawson, is organising an ‘Old Boys’ choir this year to sing at the Eucharist on the Sunday. If you were a member of the chapel choir during your time at Hild Bede or would rate your singing ability, then please get in contact with Jonathan via email at: j.h.lawson@durham.ac.uk.
David Newman (d.p.newman@durham.ac.uk) is our new Clubs & Societies Officer and is more than happy to help organise Old Boys fixtures if any of you want to get involved. If any of you Old Boys want to remind yourself of how fun college sport is, and show the freshers a thing or two, then get in touch with one another, form a team and let David know.
