The Reunion
‘It seems just the ideal of happiness to get together a number of old students, who may revel in reminiscences of the days of corporate life. The resuscitating of half-dead memories has a charm of its own, and if the reunions can afford such genuine pleasure, it should be the aim of those who look back with wistful eyes upon their College days to encourage them.’ - Principal Bebb, June, 1901
“Being back at Lampeter makes me feel like I’m in my 20’s again! For a weekend, all the stresses of everyday life just melt away.”
The annual Lampeter Society Reunion is intended to be a relaxing, informal and enjoyable weekend for catching up with old friends, meeting new people and celebrating all that Lampeter has to offer.
The 2025 Reunion
One of the highlights of the weekend was the launch of the second edition of J. R. Lloyd Thomas’ ‘Moth or Phoenix: The Fight to Save Saint David’s College 1953 - 1971’. We were grateful to have a talk at the launch by Lloyd Thomas’ daughters, Anne Lloyd Ponisch and Victoria Lloyd Tomlinson. Anne and Victoria gave a fascinating talk about their memories of growing up in Lampeter. They also brought with them a box of memorabilia with old photos, newspapers and pamphlets which were perused at great length. You can see a copy of the talk here.
