Informal Drinks Friday 4th December at The Bunch of Grapes

Gentlemen

The next informal drinks for the Old Askean Association will be held on Friday 4th December . This time we are holding this at The Bunch of Grapes, 2 St Thomas Street, SE1 9RS.
This is a few minutes walk from London Bridge Station or Borough tube station.
We will start at 15.00 and continue, I am sure, into the night.

Please come along at any time and stay for 30 minutes or 3 hours. The aim is to meet old friends and make new ones.
Hopefully if you are working in London you can finish a little early and pop along.

Please let any other Askeans you are in touch with know as all are welcome wether OAA members or not.
I

hope to see you on the 4th December

Best wishes
Peter Ayling
Immediate Past President
