Launch of the Durham Alumni in Singapore

Hello! Welcome to the Durham Alumni in Singapore webpage. With the assistance, indeed enthusiastic support of Lorraine Simpson, the Alumni Relations Officer of the University of Durham, we hope to officially launch the Durham Alumni in Singapore ("D.A.S." ?) in due course.

This would of course, depend on support from the Durham alumni themselves. Please contact us!

We have informally launched the DAS on board the Cable and Wireless Adventurer, which arrived in Singapore on 12 May 1998. The Cable and Wireless Adventurer is on a record-breaking attempt to circumnavigate in the globe in 80 days. The vessel is captained by Jock Wishart, also an alumnus. Jock Wishart is meeting up with Durham alumni at each of his stopovers.

More details on the Launch event here.

The Vice-Chancellor has this to say:

Dear Alumni,

I send my very best wishes to the Durham Alumni in Singapore. I wish I could be there with you; you have a marvellous setting for your launch! Our very best wishes to Jock too.

Yours sincerely,

Evelyn Ebsworth
Vice-Chancellor

The photographs of the launch event have been developed and selected photos posted at the photo gallery. Jock was a wonderful host and those who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

This webpage was set up! The purpose of this webpage is to help in establishing and maintaining a Durham alumni in Singapore. We hope to launch the alumni (informally) on-board the Cable and Wireless Adventurer, captained by Durham alumnus, Jock Wishart on 12 May 1998 when it sails into Singapore on its record breaking attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days.
