Guild Reunion 2026

It was a delight to welcome over 285 Guild and Honorary members back to College for their annual Guild Reunion on 16th May. Alumnae ranged in age from 21 to 87, and joined us from 11 different countries. 

At this reunion we honoured the years 1956, 1961, 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2021. For almost 80 members of our 2021 class, it was their first reunion, celebrating five years since they left CLC and for another Guild member it was the first time she had returned in 70 years.

As well as catching up with old friends there was a full programme to enjoy.  Beginning the day, as always at CLC, with Prayers in the Princess Hall, there were opportunities to tour the EET Department, take in a view from the Observatory and see the Summer Art Exhibition. 

After year group photos, lunch and Pimm’s in the garden, alumnae could reminisce in the Archives, see their old Houses or head up to Field to watch the athletics. Following competitive CLC vs Guild fixtures in hockey, lacrosse and netball, an afternoon tea was enjoyed in the Health and Fitness Centre. The day ended with a dinner for 60 alumnae in the Princess Hall.  It was a wonderful day with generations of Guild members celebrating their time at College and on-going support.
