Feb 86 Intake

I (front row center) was delighted to get a phone call out of the blue from David (second row left) to say that he is organising a get together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our starting out on the MBA programme at, what was then, the City University Business school. The dust subsequently being stirred by a confirmation email that he sent out to everyone he had contacted, Dierdre (middle row second from right) came up with this photo of the 10th anniversary reunion.

Doing a degree in the evenings was a long hard slog, although some of the firmest friends I made among the 'Feb 86 Intake' were the other folk who used to bale out of economics at the mid evening break and retire to the pub. As the picture shows, intake was indeed a fine collective noun for us.
