REUNIONS

Reunions have been held every couple of years for the last almost thirty years. The most recent one was on 23rd October 2018 at The Cavalry & Guards Club in Piccadilly, London
with 40 old boys and staff attending. This was another highly successful event enjoyed by all those who attended.

The invitation that went out for the next reunion is as follows : and a couple of photos taken on the evening:

A combined photo of the assembled company is included below. Sorry to some of you for whom parts of your anatomy have been surgically removed! We must also thank Susan Gregory who kindly lent us a replica of the Imperial Shield that we won in 1928 and we had on display at the reunion and which many found interesting.

Photos and lists of Old Boys attending the reunion, 22nd Oct 2013: This is a combination of two photos hence the odd carpet pattern! The following attended on 22nd October 2013; 54 old boys/staff in total. These are in the order that they left St Peter's making it easier to find those who were at St Peter's at the same time as you. We have also added where they live so you can look out for those you never knew lived just a couple of miles down the road! Perhaps you might be kicking yourselves for not attending. By all accounts it was great fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves.
