Saturday 22 September

Open to all OAs

OAs are encouraged to join with their school friends to form a party and share in a trip down memory lane. The Alleyn Club & Development Office will be pleased to help you get in contact with lost friends.

Begun in the late 1970s by the then Master, David Emms, and Alleyn Club Secretary, Arthur Bush, thousands of OAs have attended the annual reunions hosted by the College. For many OAs they have come to mark the beginning of a new Dulwich year, as they gather with friends to raise the roof of the Chapel with their singing of Pueri Alleynienses, share in the conviviality of the reception in the Great Hall and generous lunch in the Christison Hall, throng the touchline to cheer on the 1st XV, or simply revisit old, familiar haunts. All OAs and their gentlemen guests are invited to attend this year’s Alleyn Club dinner, details of which are as follows. Dress: Dinner jacket Dinner: £42.50 (£35 for those aged 25 and under) Bed & breakfast: £40 Please apply by Friday 19 October to assist with planning arrangements. 130th Alleyn Club Dinner
