The main Annual Reunion at Long Sutton takes place in June each year on a normal school Saturday
The day generally starts with the AGM in the morning after coffee, followed by tours of the College conducted by current pupils. Drinks are accompanied by speeches including one from the Headmaster covering the year’s events at the College, followed by lunch. The afternoon is occupied by sporting activities and other one off events. The College will be playing either cricket or/and tennis matches against another school. Occasionally there will be an evening event as well.
Year groups, generally celebrating some anniversary, have recently been arriving on the Friday evening and organising their own celebrations at a local hotel or restaurant. This tends to mean they stay locally ready for the Saturday activities.
