Annual Dinner and AGM

On behalf of your President and the Committee of the Old Cryptians’ Club, I am pleased to invite you to the Old Cryptians’ Club AGM and Annual Reunion Dinner.

For the second year running, the event will be held at the Church of St Mary de Crypt and the Old Crypt Schoolrooms, Southgate Street, Gloucester, GL1 1PT. The venue, which completed a major renovation last year, proved very popular at the 2019 dinner, which was very well attended.


Saturday, 28th March 2020

6.15 p.m. The Club’s Annual General Meeting, The Old Crypt Schoolrooms

6.45 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. The 119th Annual Reunion Dinner, The Church of St Mary de Crypt


The cost of dinner (exclusive of wines) will be £32.00 for OC Club members and partners, £36.00 for non-members and £20.00 for school sixth formers and students.

There will be a cash bar open from 6p.m. for pre-dinner drinks and wine to accompany the meal.  Tea and coffee will be available throughout the evening.

The guest speaker will be Rob Holliday (1970-77).  Rob has had a varied career in aviation as an Airline Captain and Flight Safety Manager. He also found time to represent GB at rowing, winning medals in the World Championships. He will propose the toast to “The Old Cryptians’ Club” after which your President, Adam Ashby, will respond on behalf of the Club with, “Floreat Schola Cryptiensis”.

The Dress code for men is lounge suits/jacket and tie and for ladies the appropriate equivalent.

Please feel free to circulate this invitation widely and use the event to meet with as many of your OC friends and contemporaries as possible.

Spaces are limited to 10 tables of 10 diners, i.e. 100 maximum. Demand is likely to be high, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Your President looks forward to greeting you on 28th March.
