Exeter Student Dinner
It was so good to see so many Old Radleians at the Southgate Hotel on the evening of Thursday 25th November. University members from many and varied disciplines; new and senior students alike; and PWG and DCKE (who just about remember their university days) gathered in the bar of the hotel, and all enjoyed a drink before the meal.  Click here to find out more and to view further photographs.
 
The Silver Ball

A remarkable and unforgettable Ball was held in London on Friday 18th November in aid of the Armed Forces Fund, and was attended by 900 friends of the three schools involved: Radley, Downe House and St Mary's, Calne.  The Silver Ball took place in the Planit Supernova venue on the Embankment thanks to William Bailey (1968 D) and Diana Bailey (Downe House). In total the Ball raised the amazing sum of £250,000.  Find out more about the Silver Ball and the Armed Forces Fund.
