The Marlburian Club

All pupils who leave the College become members of the Marlburian Club, a dynamic network of all former pupils (known as Old Marlburians or OMs for short), which exists to support and connect all 12,000 members throughout their lives. The Club offers a number of activities including:

• Mentoring, professional groups and networking events to support OMs in their careers

• Sporting groups so OMs can continue to represent the College at sport and socialise together

• Social events, such as reunions, to keep OMs in touch with each other

• Online events including the Marlburian Monday talk series

• Access to an online community, MC Global Connect, where OMs can connect and network with each other, as well as current parents www.marlburianclub.org

• The annual Club magazine, social media feeds and the Club website to keep OMs updated on news from other OMs and the College.

The Club engages with the wider College community, including pupils, parents and staff, who are able to attend some Club events, and works with the Development Office and Futures Department to offer a mentoring programme for Sixth Form pupils. The Club is also keen, in all it does, to promote the impact of its members on society and to encourage pupils and OMs to make a difference in the world.

The Club administers a group of Charitable Funds, out of which grants are made to support College projects, scholarships and, on occasions, to OMs in need of short-term help.

The lifetime subscription is collected via the fee account over eight terms for Shell entrants or five terms for those joining in the Lower Sixth. If, for any reason, a pupil should not become a Member on leaving school, all payments made under the scheme would be returned.
