Reunion Lunch for 1961 Matriculants Graduation (60 years since Graduation)
Saturday 6 July 2024
All those who came up to Downing in 1961 are invited to lunch, with the Master, in the West Lodge & Maitland Room on Saturday 6 July. This will be a great opportunity to catch up with people you may not have seen for 60+ years! Guests are very welcome and overnight B&B accommodation is available to book for the Saturday night.
Drinks will be served from 12pm, followed by a three-course meal at 12.30pm. We anticipate that the event will finish around 2.30pm.
Please note that we have a Reunion Dinner for 1980, 1981, 1990 and 1991 matriculants at 7pm on the same day in the Hall. After dinner, a bar will be open for the use of all alumni and guests in the Howard Building Drawing Room, from 9.30pm until 11.30pm. (Please note that Downing is now entirely cashless.)
Tickets for drinks and lunch cost £65 per person and you may book for one guest. If you wish to purchase a non-alcoholic lunch ticket, for £55 per person, please telephone the Alumni and Development Office on 01223 334850 to book. This ticket type is not available to book online.
The dress code is smart casual.
Bed and breakfast accommodation is offered in en-suite rooms in College for the night of Saturday 6 July. Breakfast will be served in the Hall from 8am to 9.30am. You may check-in from 2pm and check-out is 10am on the day of departure.
We would love to display a small exhibition of photographs from your time at Downing at this event. If you have any that you would like to share, please email copies to the College Archivist, Jenny Ulph.
Booking for this event will close at 1pm on Friday 14 June. The maximum capacity is x36 people and early booking is advised.
Alumni are welcome to park in College, but please note that spaces are limited and cannot be reserved, except by those who have requested disabled parking in advance.
