Selwyn had one of its busiest periods of the year for visitors, with Graduation on June 27th (story below) followed by the Open Days beginning on July 3rd and the College Garden Party on July 5th.
Hundreds of people came through the College – in mostly glorious weather, though there was the need to dodge the occasional shower. Below, prospective students are being welcomed to the Open Days at the main entrance to the College. We had guests from schools across the UK, some accompanied by their parents.
They were shown round Selwyn by student volunteers. Pictured below are three of them: (left to right) Tom Andrew, Laura Makhoul and Fergus Oakley.
Last Friday the College had a service and dinner to commemorate its benefactors: usually just referred to as “Commem”. A service in Chapel included some members of the choir who have now graduated, and these leavers are pictured here:
This was followed by dinner in the College Hall, attended by many past members of Selwyn – some of whom studied here as far back as the 1940s and 1950s.
Our final surge of visitors was for the Selwyn Garden Party on Saturday. Tea and the live band were moved into Hall because of a pessimistic weather forecast, but a crowd congregated on the lawn of Old Court with no need for umbrellas:
They included many children, who had entertainment laid on for them.
You can see pictures from the Garden Party, from the Open Days and from these and other recent events on our Flickr pages.
