95 years of Men's Res
One of the highlights of the 2017 was the Men's Res 95th Reunion Anniversary Dinner. To the more than 150 alumni who attended the dinner on 29 September (and whose time in Mens Re's spread across more than 60 years), we would like to express our utmost gratitude and appreciation for you taking time off your busy schedules to attend a very special evening. It was great meeting you all!
The aim of the evening was for all Men’s Res alumni to reminisce about our fondest memories during the time we lived in the house, and we certainly believe we achieved that: from the warm atmosphere of Old Raiders meeting up with their peers and other fellow raiders for welcoming drinks in the Common Room, through to tours of College and Dals and culminating in the dinner.
To those Men's Res alumni who were unable to attend, you were missed and we know that you were with us in spirit. We plan on getting alumni more and more involved in the house over the next couple of years as we edge closer and closer to the centenary and we hope when the house calls you to duty, you’ll answer with open arms!
