Most of us have kept in touch with some people, but rarely seen the majority. 30 years on, some of us are planning to reconnect on Saturday, 1 July 2017 in London over lunch - and at the Hild Bede Alumni College. We’d love to see as many alumni as we can - we’ve set up a Facebook group where you can find out who else is coming and let us know in which event(s) you are interested. If you’re not on Facebook, you can let us know by emailing HBClassof87@gmail.com. Hope to see you there!'Helen Goatley (née Channing), Elizabeth Jarman, Tony Quinlan, Richard Spalding.Alumni Association BusinessAn Extraordinary General Meeting of the Alumni Association will take place in College on Thursday, 11 May at 5pm.
