by, and for members of the University, had been approved by the Proctors on 12
February 1935.

Jesus College Cambridge on Saturday 17th April 2010 to celebrate this milestone
event. There will be a reception in Upper Hall from 1900 hrs until 1945 hrs.

CUGC or CGC. The ticket(s) can be booked here online and can be either sent to

To encourage as many past members as possible to visit the Club and sample its
current facilities, any past member of either Club purchasing a full price
ticket will be entitled to a complimentary winch launch from Gransden Lodge on
either Saturday 17th or Sunday 18th April.
This will include up to 15 minutes of flying time; thereafter it will be charged
