It's great to see Tom Sweeney (2021, NatSci; back for a Materials Science PhD) & Helen Brookes (soon to be 4th-yr Classics undergrad) representing Catz on the @Cam_Footlights Committee over the next year. See our article about Tom & Helen from Nov 2024: caths.cam.ac.uk/footlights

Another Catz trip to Windsor Castle to add to the two mentioned earlier this week... great to see!

JJanet Grauberg@JGrauberg · Jul 25

Something completely different - a trip to Windsor Castle this week to receive an OBE for "services to the community in North London and to education." It's been a privilege to volunteer in NW6 and as a school governor for many years, but the recognition is nice too!
