In the scholarly surroundings of the library at the Bishopsgate Institute near Liverpool Street station, our Festive Stortfordian City drinks event recently brought together 30 guests spanning 40 years of alumni and current parents. The event was a delightful blend of nostalgia and new beginnings, as old friendships were rekindled and new connections forged.

The evening began with a warm welcome from the College Head, John Maguire, who shared exciting updates about the school. He highlighted recent exam and sporting successes, and provided insights into the College's plans for the future. His address set a positive tone for the evening, celebrating the achievements of the school community.

The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with laughter and lively conversations. Guests enjoyed reminiscing about their school days and catching up on each other's lives. The event was a testament to the enduring bonds formed at the school and the strong sense of community among Old Stortfordians and College Parents.

Looking ahead, there is already anticipation for next year's event, with hopes of hosting it at a venue linked to the Stortfordian Community. The success of this year's gathering has set a high bar, and everyone is eager to continue the tradition.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the guests for their support and participation. Your presence made the evening truly special, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2025!
