“a chance to catch up with old friends”

 

OEA reunions

The OEA reunion is held every year, normally in September or early October. In 2012 the reunion will be held on Saturday 15 September and will be for those who were or would have been in the Upper Sixth in a summer term up to and including 1964.

The reunion day
The annual reunion is a chance to catch up with old friends from your school days and also an opportunity to see how the College has changed since you were last here. As well as an evening drinks reception and dinner, there are other activities during the day and you are free to come to as many or as few of these as you wish. There is no charge for any part of the day.

Invitations
You will normally receive an invitation to a reunion once every three or four years. For younger OEs you will get your first invitation within six to nine years of leaving the College.

If you have not had any communication from us in the last year or so then we probably do not have your correct address on file and will not be able to send you a reunion invitation when it is your turn. Please let us know your latest address and any news by completing an update form which you can find on our Keep in touch page.

Reunion cohorts
In 2009 we increased the range of years for each cohort which means that reunions will run in four-year cycles. 
Rather than using the date of joining the College to determine whom to invite, we now specify 'those who were or would have been in the Upper Sixth' in the summer term of a range of years.

Not only does this ensure that anybody who joined the College just for the sixth form is reunited with their year group rather than with a younger year group, it also includes any OE who left the College before joining the sixth form.
