A Reunion is being organised of all OPs who left the Nautical College in the summer of 1961.

It will take place on Founder's Day, Saturday July 2. Anyone interested in attending should contact Lindsey Hughes at the College or Robin Knight (56-61) on k7ght@btinternet.com

A total of 32 OPs left the NCP in 1961. Half a dozen live outside the UK but the remainder are alive and well and resident within striking distance of the College.

Anyone thinking of attending should bring a picnic, park on Bowden and gather on Big Side around lunchtime. Entertainment will include a T20 cricket game on Big Side and afternoon tea in the OP tent also on Big Side. Beat Retreat is scheduled for around 4.30pm.
