Adding to your year group booklet – a request for EVERYONE

It has become a tradition since this event started in 1959 to produce a booklet to accompany Golden Reunions, so that people can find out about those in their year group they have lost contact with, whether they can come to the Reunion or not. You would have received your booklet a decade ago and it is a really important part of the College archive. This year, members of your year group have asked for entries in the original booklet to be updated. You will have been emailed with the original booklet, so please could you send any additional information to Jackie Watson (jacqueline.watson@some.ox.ac.uk) by the end of July.

  • Any additional photographs (then or now!)
  • You could write about any aspects of life since Somerville: home and family, any community involvement, travels or moves, changes or developments of your interests and opinions. As always, this is not all about amazing successes in life, but about those things that have been important to you. All lives and experiences are worth reading about!
