Queen Alexandra College reunion
Students at QAC - formerly BRIB, Harborne, are having a get-together.
Two of the moving spirits behind the reunion are Chris Gregory, a former Principal of the college, and Jill Davis, a student at the time. Jill was there in the early 1960s and wants to contact as many former students of the time - around 1961 to 1965 as she can.
It will be a weekend affair with things kicking off at the College in Court Oak Road at around 6:00 pm on Friday 3 April. We'll go out for an evening meal at the Old House Pub where prices are quite reasonable. There will be socialising and a buffet lunch on the Saturday, and I believe a dance, disco, CD session in the evening.
People can stay overnight on Friday at accomodation in or near the college and a very reasonable £40.00 is charged for this. This might help for those wanting to come from further afield.
Jill is happy to be contacted about this on: 01527 456344 or Chris Gregory, 0121 434 3153
In an interview in this week's Sandwell Talking news paper - which is available on this site - Chris tells us that she hopes the reunion might lead to the setting up of a students guild or association similar to old student's guilds and associations for former students of other colleges.

Looking forward to seeing some old faces. Not so much of the "old" I just heard someone say!
