Issue 2, Feb 2001 (Back to Contents)

...to all 3000 of you (both Old Radleians and parents) who have taken the trouble to complete and return the Radley Information Forms to us during the year.

This represents 48% of the total and is a tremendous response. We were also greatly encouraged by the number of entries for the OR news and notes supplement to the Old Radleian there were 850 this year. We would like this section to grow so we look forward to updates from those of you who contributed this year and first time entries from everyone else!

You will be receiving a Radley Information Form (RIF) each year from now on, which will give us the opportunity to find out more about what you want in the way of events and publications and will give you the chance to update us on changes in contact details, career changes, additions to your family etc. We will be asking you on the next form whether you would like to continue to receive a copy of the Radleian in addition to the Old Radleian.

Thank you, too, to all those who were in a position to offer help of one sort or another. We have logged all these offers and will be in touch with you whenever it seems appropriate. Andrew Holmes has written elsewhere to those who volunteered to help with careers a magnificent 1721 of you. This service is not only for current Radleians but also for all ORs, so if you are contemplating a change of direction and want to talk to someone already in the field, do let us know and we will try to put you in touch with someone who can help.

If you gave us an email address, we will be emailing you shortly to ask whether you would be happy to receive your RIF electronically in future. We hope this will be more convenient for you; it will certainly be more cost-effective for us.

We had hoped that the new College website would be up and running by now, but these things always take longer than one thinks. We hope that it will now be on line by Easter and we will write fully about it in the June issue of Lusimus. If you asked us to include your email or website address in our online address book, we will do so as soon as we can.
