We were thrilled to host our inaugural Alumni Christmas Drinks yesterday. Exclusively for our former students and staff who had left the College in the last five years, it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces. Some of our Old Broad Oakians travelled over an hour to join us in the College Hall and we even had a surprise visit from our former Head, Andy Colpus.

It was a fabulous evening catching up with our students and hearing about the wonderful adventures they have been on and the careers they are building. The evening was filled with laughter, drinks, snacks and a healthy dose of nostalgia. The festive spirit was palpable, with lots of fun and giggles, whilst taking pictures to upload onto our new College Instagram page - @stjosephs_college_reading.

This really was a fantastic event to kick start the festive break and we hope to see more Old Broad Oakians come back next year.
