OPU (London branch) AGM and Dinner - 21 March 2025

A timely reminder of this year’s Old Portora Union (London branch) Annual Dinner and AGM at The Army & Navy Club in London on Friday 21 March 2025.

Our guest speaker this year is Brigadier John Graham OBE (M, 1965-72). A regular attendee at the London Dinner, John had a distinguished military career. Now retired he devotes a great deal of his time to the smooth running of the OPU in Enniskillen. At the dinner he will be talking about the School archives, a topic close to his heart.

The cost of the dinner this year will be £105.00 per person, which includes a three-course meal and wine. There is a reduced cost of £55.00 per person for full-time students and Old Portorans under the age of 25.

A booking form is attached to this email. The form may be completed digitally using Adobe Acrobat Reader, or printed out and completed by the more traditional method of pen and ink.
