Reunions every 10 years – help us organise yours
1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, 2009 to celebrate in 2019
The Old Guildfordians Association holds reunions for classes every 10 years. If you are from the class of 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, or
2009, we need your help to make it a celebration worthy of the occasion. If you are not sure what your class year is, consider what the
calendar year was when your age group graduated in Year 12, even if you left before your final year.
