New College welcomes back Old Members for a Gaude

New College welcomed back Old Members from matriculation years 1999-2001 on Saturday. 

On Saturday 27th September, New College welcomed back Old Members from the Matriculation years 1999-2001 for a ‘Gaude’. Over 200 (is this correct?) New College alumni reunited during a bright (albeit chilly!) afternoon. 

The day began with afternoon tea in the Cloisters, followed by Evensong in Chapel. Old Members then had a chance to enjoy champagne in the evening sun before a three-course dinner in Hall. 

New College was particularly excited to invite Prasanna Puwanarajah as speaker for the Gaude. Prasanna trained in Medicine at New College, practising as a junior doctor before turning to a career in acting. 

It was a wonderful occasion and a delight to see Old Members recollecting their university days and rekindling old friendships.
