Charged with the good will generated by the College’s recent Centenary celebrations, the class of 1982 gathered at the end of last year for their 30 year reunion at an informal function at The Angel Tavern in Malvern. More than 50 Old Collegians attended and had a great night reminiscing about their days at De La and exchanging stories of their activities since leaving school. Whilst some girths had expanded and some hairlines had receded, this was more than compensated by great stories being exchanged (and some stories grew bigger as the night wore on).
