London get together?

[Leonie Lonton]

Hi All
Well the creation of the Save the Children Alumni site has certainly caused a flurry of reconnections and email exchanges – which has been wonderful! It fact its led to the idea of having a first very informal gathering somewhere near Farringdon on the evening of 14th November 2018. Those already in include Paulette Cohen, Edward Knight, Gaby Schembri, Shola Awolesi, Sian Kelly, Mike Aaroson, Emma Roberts, Anna Acland, Jennifer Kelly, Pete Smith…and we hope many more old friends and colleagues will join. If you are interested post a note here and once I can see what kind of size group we are likely to be I will try and book a space somewhere in Farringdon. Do spread the word to other alumni to register on the site – and come along on the 14th Nov

If you are not based in or around London and fancy organising a get together in a different location why not post here in this forum to get the ball rolling?

I wish I was free to join you that evening but sadly I’m not. But let’s hope this is the first of many and I look forward to catching up with alumni friends in future!

Leonie, if you buy me a drink on Wednesday I’ll even forgive you for mis-spelling my name… (After 30 years and six months I’d have thought you’d have got it straight, but – blame the spell-checker?

[Lesley Adams]

Yes, great idea.
I’m available if it’s in the evening.
I look forward to receiving further information.

Happy to jin you all there.

I am in London tonight & will try to make it along for a drink or two around 6pm

[Mike Aaronson]

Just on the way to the pub!

Amazing to see so many people here! Fears about not being able to recognise people overcome by clever labelling…
