When ordering, bypass a shortcoming of Imperial Union’s new on-line shop by following this top tip: When placing your order, pop your first name AND your email address into the ‘First name’ field. (And yes, go on to repeat your email address in the ‘Email’ field.) Honestly! It’s not a wind-up…. it really does help!
As our President, Mike Munroe, explained: We have secured an amazing venue for the RCSU/ RCSA Summer Dinner this year and our plan is to hold it at the London Postal Museum WC1. This iconic and award winning independent museum tells the 500 year story of British postal communications with interesting exhibits and displays. Our sumptuous dinner will be located in the atmospheric museum with access to the exhibits and displays. It should be a really unique and enjoyable experience. The dinner will be held on the evening of Saturday 6th June which is during the Great Exhibition Road Festival (GERF) weekend making this a great weekend for alumni to spend in London!
For more details, and to register for the Festival (which is entirely free) click here……. The Great Exhibition Road Festival.
This year’s festival marks the 175th anniversary of the Great Exhibition of 1851, the landmark event that drew six million visitors to Hyde Park and helped fund the learning institutions and museums that now dominate South Kensington.
As part of the celebrations, the RCSA has teamed up with the City and Guilds alumni association (CGCA) to stage a ‘take over’ of the Eastside Lounge on Prince’s Gardens. We’ll be hosting an “Alumni Lounge” event on Saturday 6th June from 10am to 5pm any and all IC alumni will be able to join us during the day for tea/coffee, pastries in the morning, sandwiches in the afternoon to relax, meet up with friends, grab some food or a drink (cash bar). There will also be an informal talk on Mentoring given by Roger Preece, CGCA president and mentoring expert given at 12:30pm. All welcome to attend. No need to book! Hope to see you there!
