Several months ago I had an email from a friend from back in my university days, (Ravi Kanbur). I had not seen him since leaving university.  He had found me on the web.  This weekend he threw a party to celebrate his 50th birthday, and 25^th anniversary of his marriage to Maggie.

The event took place at the Beet club in Ely, where we were entertained to a 60’s disco, and a fantastic feast of food.  There was a great mix of people from India, Cambridge, Oxford, Scotland and Wales.  Those who attended from my undergraduate days were, Simon Potter, Mike Bell, Norman Housley and Richard.Gleed.

Afterwards we adjourned to the Lamb hotel where we were entertained by rugby songs.   Sunday we visited Ravi and Maggie in their home in Ely, and then went onto Newmarket to meet my father for a Christmas present exchange.
