The Old Stortfordian Diamond Lunch 2027 

17 March 2027

We look forward to celebrating together once again at The Old Stortfordian Diamond Lunch, a perfect opportunity to rally your contemporaries for a get together or make new OS connections.

We are pleased to confirm the lunch will be held at Audley End House on Wednesday 17 March 2027. 

For 2027, we are honoured to hold our annual gathering at Audley End House in tribute to a much‑loved member of College staff, Captain Alfons Maćkowiak - fondly known as “Captain Mack.” Following his wartime service as a key instructor for the Cichociemni (“Silent Unseen”) of the Polish Home Army at Station 43, based at Audley End, he spent 12 impactful years at the College, inspiring a generation of boys through his leadership, discipline, and physical training.

The event will include a special guided walking tour of the Audley End Secret War exhibition followed by lunch.

11.30am Arrivals at the venue - Welcome refreshments in Housekeeper’s Tea Rooms.
                                                      Free visitor parking is available on site.

12pm Group walking tour of Secret War Exhibit departs from the Visitors Centre

1.30pm 2 Course Lunch in Housekeeper’s Tea Rooms.

Tickets for this special event are subsidised by the College and cost £35 per person.
