Picnic 3rd July 2010

Well we planned and planned then the day arrived and we executed on the day..what a fabulous day it was. It is always a laugh when OGQCs get together, and laugh we did! The park was a very lovely venue for a family day out. We were sat behind the children's playground, this in turn really leant itself to the occasion, as it meant that the kids had a great time, to be honest we hardly saw them. They were free to do as they pleased and they did just that. We had a fantastic raffle draw which raised over £50.

I have to say a big thank you to all of you who attended, and I hope that we see you at next years event. No doubt it will be just as fabulous.

Meeting Held on 13th March 2010, held at Stoke Mandeville

Hi ya all
We had a really good meeting on the 13th March 2010. It was held at Stoke Mandeville. There was really good attendance, we had ladies who left QC as early as 1950 to those who left as recently as 1990. How cool was that? The hostess was superb, she plied us with lots of food and drink. There were many trips down memory lane and all sorts of fun and laughter. It made for a fantastic afternoon. We also got down to the hard business of the association, which on this occasion was organising our picnic. This as you know is set for 3rd July. It has been designed its set at a cost of £10 per family. As always any event hosted by QCOGA ( UK) will have an aim to raise money in order to carry out good deeds for our beloved Queen's College. To this end, we would like all participants to come along with a gift for the tombola/ raffle. Of course Donations would be most welcome. The next meeting will be held on 19th June, please come along. You will be amazed at how much fun you could have.

Meeting Held on 14th November 2009, at Fullers Wood, Croydon

A general Social gathering was held on 14th November 2009, at Fullers wood Croydon. It was the first meeting of QCOGA ( UK) held in a long time, and it can be reported as complete success. We had a lot of fun, there was food, reminiscing, lively debate and all the kids present got on as if they had known each other for years!.

Clearly we had to get down to some serious business, we had the clear aim of making sure our association became active again. Some of you will recall the days of heady success with picnics, dinner dances, charity walks etc. We agreed that the softly softly approach was called for as we wanted to encourage everyone back to the association. To kick things off we decided we would hold the Picnic again. It is set to be held in July 2010, details can be seen to the left. Full details will be posted as they become available. There will be raffles, quizzes and all sorts of fun for the kids on the day.

We have also kick started the meetings again and the next one will be held in March 2010.

Well please feel free to leave a comment and please do share this site with other QC girls, as this we would love to see everyone and we will be posting details of any events on this forum.
