Dunelm East Anglia

The East Anglia network started out as the Norfolk network, and formed in November 2008 following a small, informal event organised by the Alumni Relations team in a venue which wasn’t entirely appropriate. Attendees at the gathering felt that they would be better suited to organise future events, utilising their local knowledge and expertise to source a suitable venue for the next event in the area. The Alumni Relations team helped to promote the event to alumni in the region, and the group have been organising an average of three events per year ever since. 

The group meet up on average two to three times per year, usually at the Red Lion - a pub in Norwich, for dinner and drinks. In 2014 the group were asked by the Alumni Relations Office to organise and host an event as part of the Dunelm Days celebration, where the group rose to the challenge, as they did again in 2015, extending the invitation to alumni residing in Suffolk and in the process developing the network in to the East Anglia network. The organisers used the celebration as an opportunity to organise a different type of event from the usual, organising a river cruise; in 2014 this was on the Southern Comfort on the Norfolk Broads, and in 2015 this was on a City Boat along the River Yare. During both trips the attendees were very fortunate to have beautiful weather for the occasion. 

The network would love to see new faces at their events, and are particularly keen to meet with some of Durham’s younger alumni to regale them with stories about student life at Durham in the 21st century. If you would like to connect with the network please contact alumni.volunteer@durham.ac.uk
