Welcome to the Grey College Association

Grey College Association is an organisation designed to keep past members (alumni) of Grey College in touch with and provide support to the College.

Established in 1959 to support graduating members of the college for those first few years, the original President was the Master of the day, Sydney Holgate. As the number of alumni grew, the Association expanded and in time Dr Holgate stood aside, making way for a number of Presidents over the last four decades. The current President is Thomas Cliff, a College Tutor and 2001 graduate.

Each year the Association organises two reunions, one held in Durham and the other in London. Additionally, a magazine called Grey Matters is published annually and sent electronically to all College alumni — if you no longer receive a copy, please update your details.

Message from the Master

The College values deeply the loyalty and affection of its Alumni, many of whom have gone on to achieve great distinction in various walks of life. The College also remains immensely grateful to the members of the Association who commit their time and substance to helping the present generation of students here.

Grey College is a very special place, where lifelong friendships are forged and education in its fullest sense is offered. The Association is a vital link in the community of Greymen and Greywomen, and I do hope that you will enjoy learning the latest information about its many activities through this website.
