London Old Princethorpians |
On Friday 27 September, the Old Princethorpians' London Meet took place at The Clachan on Kingly Street, a unique city centre pub with a rich history, tucked just behind the iconic Liberty's.
For this well-established annual OP event, it was a bumper turnout comprising an enthusiastic and diverse crowd of over 40 OPs from across the decades. In fact, every decade from the 1970s to the 2020s was represented, with the Class of 2018 being the specific year group with the largest number of OP representatives.
Guests were greeted warmly by the Princethorpe contingent, which included OPs Secretary Melanie Butler, Alumni Relations and Development Officer Caroline Spencer, Foundation Bursar Eddie Tolcher and Assistant Head Neil McCollin. Former longstanding and much-loved teacher and Assistant Head, Alex Darkes, was also in attendance, and the whole team enjoyed catching up and reminiscing with the OPs. As ever, it was a delight to see the OPs enjoying each other’s company, networking and swapping stories.
The evening unfolded happily in the upstairs room of this bustling pub, with Welcome Drinks provided courtesy of the OP Committee, and the friendly Clachan staff laying out a tasty buffet during the evening, much appreciated by all.
We are always looking for suggestions for our next London Meet venue, so if you can suggest a good pub with a function room, in a good location, please email oldprincethorpians@princethorpe.co.uk.
