Saturday 3 March 2012, from 7.30pm at Babucho

Contemporary restaurant with late lounge and music  ~  Only £15 per person for students!

This year the OP Newcastle Reunion will take place at Babucho, an exciting and contemporary venue right in the heart of Newcastle’s Quayside.  As well as the bar and restaurant, the venue offers a late lounge with music and DJs until 2am so plenty of options to make a night of it for those who want to party! 

The evening will commence with a welcome drink in the bar followed by a 3-course dinner with wine in the restaurant all for £25 per person or just £15 per person for students.  If enough people would like to stay on after the meal for a drink or two, an area in the late lounge can be booked for our group so please indicate this when making your booking. The dress code is ‘smart casual’ and partners/spouses are welcome to attend.

We hope as many OPs of all ages, students as well as those living or working in the North East region, will join us for an enjoyable evening at this ever-popular annual get together.  Places are limited so get contacting your old school friends now to help us make it a sell out!  For further information or to book please contact the OP Office. We look forward to seeing you there!
