Regional Reunions
This year we have started a series of reunions
for OAs currently at university. We chose
Oxford and Manchester, as these have
been the top two university destinations for
the last three years – with about 30 OAs at
each. Oxford Abingdonians gathered at the
Kings Arms, Oxford, on Tuesday 10 February
together with their former teachers, Chris
Burnand, Hugh Price and Michael Stinton.
And on Saturday 28 March, teachers Mike
Litchfield and Su McRae travelled up to
Manchester for dinner on the curry mile with
OAs studying there. OAs based in Cornwall
also had a get together on Saturday 7 March,
enjoying a hearty pub lunch.
More regional and university reunions will be
announced for the next academic year.
