What is the Boar’s Head Gaudy?
This is held on a Saturday just before Christmas each year. The College invites Old Members who matriculated in particular years chosen in rotation. Dinner is preceded by the ceremonial entry of the Boar’s Head, with the singing of the traditional Boar’s Head Carol.
What is the Needle & Thread Gaudy?
This is the Gaudy formerly held on New Year’s Day, at which the Bursar exhorts those present to be thrifty. The Governing Body recently decided to invite Old Members to this Gaudy to complement the existing invitations to the Boar’s Head Gaudy.
