FOUNDATION DAY 2015

The College invited major donors and members of the Devonshire Society to lunch on Foundation Day, which was held on Thursday 25 June.

Following a drinks reception in the Birley Centre, the guests were treated to a musical recital by pupils in the Jennifer Winn Auditorium, after which they posed for the group photograph here. They then headed to the College Theatre for lunch.

After words of welcome from Philip Broadley (Wargrave 1974–79), special guest Sir Christopher Leaver (Blackwater 1951–55) expressed his thanks to the College for the plaque which had been unveiled in his honour in the Cloisters, details of which are carried in a separate news item. He then proposed a toast to the College.

After lunch, the guests had an opportunity to enjoy the cricket match on College Field between the 1st XI and the MCC.
