kent-grads Archive Index (by Date)

I'd love to come to such events and I really don't know why you assume that people are unable to travel to a reunion and so you don't bother to inform them. This just gives people less time to make travel plans when they do finally hear about the event.

Why can't you just advertise the event to everyone and let us decide if its too far?

Steve (and everyone who may also be wondering...),

we have recently sent the invitation to the annual

(and very popular!) London alumni reception to every

alumnus we have within the London and Kent area (either

office or home). If you haven't received an invitation, it

means either that we don't think you live or work in or

near London or in Kent or we don't have your current snail

mail address...

Killara

And Thank you Leo! (though what was funny about the wine

at the House of Lords...?)
