Join your fellow 1981 Classmates for a special reunion in Oxford celebrating 45 years since coming up! The Reunion Planning Committee is delighted to welcome you back to Rhodes house for a weekend of reflection, reconnection, and celebration.
Highlights include: engaging panel discussions on some of today's most stimulating topics, punting at the Cherwell Boathouse, a formal dinner at Rhodes House, and much more! View the draft agenda here. Updates will be added as planning progresses.
The Reunion will be a wonderful chance to reconnect with old friends, experience the beautifully refurbished Rhodes House, and revisit both familiar and new Oxford haunts. We truly hope that you'll be able to join us.
Accomodation will need to be arranged seperately. A limited number of rooms are available to book at Rhodes House here: £163.20 per night (double room); £144 per night (single room). [These rates include Alumni discount].
If Rhodes House rooms are fully booked, a block of rooms has been reserved at the Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel. To book: email h6668-re@accor.com, referencing the booking code: Block ID 5829490.
Note on transport:
Please note that parking in Oxford is not recommended. A new congestion charge policy makes using a car in the city very difficult, and parking around Rhodes House is extremely limited. From Heathrow Airport, we recommend taking the train to London and then changing to Oxford, or taking the direct bus from Heathrow Airport to Oxford city centre. When moving within Oxford, the best taxi options are: Uber and 001 Taxis.
If you have any questions on the best way to arrive to Oxford, please email Michela Giachino at alumni@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk.
We are so looking forward to seeing you in Oxford!
