Reunion Lunch for 1961 Matriculants
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 12:00, followed by a three-course meal at 12:30. We anticipate that the event will finish around 14:30.
Please note that we have a Reunion Dinner for 1980, 1981, 1990 and 1991 matriculants at 19:00 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 21:30 until 23:30. (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 08:00 to 09:30. You may check-in from 14:00 and check-out is 10:00 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.
