The Class of 83 40th Anniversary Dinner

The 40th Anniversary of the 1983 Leavers
The 40th Anniversary of the 1983 Leavers

Members of the Class of 83 held their 40th Anniversary Reunion at the college in April.  Guests were greeted on arrival with a special Commando Cocktail created by the reunion organiser Rory Copinger-Symes (79 - 83) using his own brand of whisky, Commando Spirit, mixed with Gunners 'Saint', one of two Gunners based drinks launched by fellow OP Giles Fuchs (78-83).  A number of photo's from the college archive proved a talking point and created some healthy debate!  before everyone moved on to a fantastic three course dinner in the Old Library.

A number of those attending returned to the college the next morning to watch Retired Brigadier Copinger-Symes take parade.  All in all a perfect end to a great weekend.
