Enjoy catching up with your Hatfield friends as we create a little bit of Hatfield in London!

The Hatfield Association invites alumni and friends to an informal London After Hours reception on Tuesday 12 May 2020 from 5.30pm.

This year the event is being held in the ultra-glamorous and sophisticated Anthracite Lounge of the Great Northern Hotel, situated in London’s exciting King’s Cross neighbourhood.

 

The Anthracite Lounge is an atmospheric venue within the glorious Victorian architecture of the Great Northern Hotel – just right for rekindling the Hatfield Spirit.

Relax with your friends, meet the Master: Professor Ann MacLarnon, learn about all the great things happening in Hatfield…. eat, drink and be merry…. perhaps some College Songs….

The reception is heavily subsidised by The Association and there will be a glass of bubbly wine on arrival and canapés.

A dedicated bar will also be available should you wish to purchase additional beverages.

Our not-so-new Master of College has been in position for over two years now! She has her feet well and truly ‘under the table’ and has exciting new ideas. We look forward hearing from her what is happening in college and what she plans for the future.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Hatfield community and sharing the chance to catch up with old friends and to make new connections.

Tickets are £15 each and include admission, a glass of sparkling wine upon arrival and canapés.

A dedicated bar will also be available should you wish to purchase additional beverages.

Tickets are available to purchase now via our dedicated Hatfield Association After Hours London page on the Ticketsource website.

Regrettably this event has been cancelled in response to the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic

If you have already booked and paid for tickets online with TicketSource, then a procedure has been initiated to refund you. You will receive notification of the refund process in an email.

We hope that it will be possible to re-arrange this event on a suitable date when the current response to the pandemic is over and we look forward to seeing you again then.

We include below a link to the Covid-19 (coronavirus) notice which has been placed on the Durham University website.

Thank you for your understanding,
Hatfield Association.

About the Hatfield Association – Once a Hatfielder, Always a Hatfielder

 

The Hatfield Association was established in 1946, at a time when the future of Hatfield College, Durham University was uncertain – this was the first time that Hatfielders came together and probably the finest proof of the legendary Hatfield spirit.

Our aim is to ensure we have a strong, active and engaged network of Hatfield alumni (graduates), to facilitate and build strong relationships with the College and to support its educational and welfare needs.

To this end the Hatfield Association plays an active role in: organising annual reunions, helping to connect members through regular updates and publications, offering career advice for students through a partnership with SHAPED, supporting the outreach programme for schools and playing an active role in all three common rooms.

Our membership consists of thousands of Hatfield graduates, but we are always keen to connect with more!

If you would like to read the latest version of our annual publication, the Hatfield Record, to receive updates about our work and invitations to events, then please register for access to this website using the form on our home page.
