Old Princethorpians

Following last Spring's Memorial Service for Fr Clarkson and the response from OPs to the event, the OPs committee has decided to hold an annual day at Princethorpe to celebrate Fr Clarkson's contribution to the College.

The event will take place next year on Sunday 18 April 2010 from 12.00pm to 4.00pm, exact timings tbc. The day will follow a similar format, starting with a mass in the Chapel, followed by a buffet lunch, tours of the College and sporting/fun activities for all the family.

All OPs and their families will be welcome at the event, which it is hoped will become an annual fixture.

For those interested in looking around the College the next Princethorpe open event is our Open Morning on Thursday 14 January 2010 from 10.30am to 12.30pm. All are welcome. This is an opportunity to look round the college on a normal working day, just before Entrance Examinations on Saturday 23 January.

Parents with children currently in Year 6 who are interested in admission to the College in September 2010, and would like to attend a Taster Day at the College before Entrance Exams, should email the Registrar lorettacurtis@princethorpe.co.uk.

Spaces are available on a first come, first served basis on Wednesday 25 November.

Those looking to get into the Christmas mood need look no further than the College's popular Christmas Fair which takes place on Sunday 29 November from 2.00pm to 4.30pm.

There are stalls, games, festive refreshments and of course Santa in his grotto! All welcome!

Thursday 5th November is the date of the next London OPs Pub Meet.

OPs are welcome to meet at The Glassblower (42 Glasshouse Street, just off Regent Street, nearest tube Piccadilly Circus) on Thursday 5 November 2009 from 6.30pm.

Says London OP Rep, Charles Lawton, "These events are usually great fun and it would be fantastic if a few new faces were to join us, and help make the evening go with a bang!!"
