David Tall : Wadham Gaudy |
| Every few years Oxford colleges invite their previous students back for a ‘Gaudy’ (pronounced gordy) to meet their old friends and to maintain contact between the college and its students.
Saturday March 27th 2004 was the occasion for a Gaudy for those who became students at Wadham in the years 1957-1960. As a 1960 student, I was with my own year, together with those in their second, third or fourth years when I arrived. The dinner in hall was up to its sumptuous best! |
