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.
