Alumni enjoy Exeter’s biennial Association Dinner
On Saturday, 17 September the College celebrated its biennial Association Dinner which was especially a chance to celebrate the anniversaries of those from 1960 and 1961 who had matriculated 50 years ago, 1980 and 1981 who had matriculated 30 years ago, and 2000 and 2001 who had matriculated 10 years ago. 65 Old Members and their guests attended the day’s events including afternoon tea in the Lodgings, a chance to hear about the College’s plans for the development of the Walton Street site and review the submitted drawings, a splendid choral evensong, and dinner in Hall. As the Rector had just that morning flown back from a week’s trip to Asia and had commitments in Scotland that weekend, the Sub Rector and Fellow in Biochemistry, Maureen Taylor, gave the welcome at the dinner and introduced the speaker Richard Du Parcq (1961, Chemistry) who talked about his memories of College 50 years ago.
