The 1956 Club
John Mason writes:
The 1956 Club met once again on Wednesday 25th June 2014 as usual at The Swan Hotel, Streatley-on Thames.
We were really pleased to renew our old friendship with Noordin who had travelled all the way from Malaya to be with us
this year. Much of the bar talk was of the surprise decision to award the majority of us an Honorary Batchelor degree a month or so hence and to who would be receiving them in person in Westminster Hall. After
a lengthy lunch we made for the river bank for the customary photo and agreed to meet again this year on Wednesday 24th June 2015.

RVC ‘64 Club
Colin Sitford writes:
On November 22nd 2014 members of the RVC ’64 club met at the Arrow Mill Hotel, Alcester, Warwickshire to celebrate their 49th annual reunion and 50 years since graduation (December 1964).
Following an excellent meal the guest speaker was Professor Derek Tavernor – a surviving member of the
academic staff who taught the year at the Field Station (aka Hawkshead Campus).
The meeting was organised by Colin Whitaker who has booked the same venue for the 14th November 2015 to host the celebration of the club’s 50th Reunion.
The 65 Club
Philip Underwood writes:
In all, some 37 members and their wives attended our 49th reunion held at Stratford-upon-Avon. This proved to be an excellent centre.
In 2015 we shall be holding our RVC 65 Club 50th reunion on the Isle of Wight. We are hoping as many members as possible will join us there.
The RVC would like to thank Philip Underwood for continuing to send us news items for Eclipse and for his continued support of the Alumni Annual Fund.
It was our pleasure to be able to invite Philip and his wife to the Buckingham Palace Garden Party this May as one of our long standing supporters. Philip said: “The weather was good, the setting unique and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.”
