Subject: Lunch and a Special Viewing

Hello Everyone,

I hope this email finds you well. The Old Wyves Lunch on Wednesday was excellent, with twenty-seven present and a great buzz of conversations and laughter. We even had an Old Wyve all the way from Australia present - that's dedication for you! No seriously, he happened to be on an extended holiday in the UK. The next Lunch will be in March 2026. I'll let you know the date soon.

Some of you may know Peter Robinson, an Old Wyvernian who went on to find great fame as a sports photographer. If you don't then just google his name and 'sports photographer'. He specialised in football photos, and was described by the New York Times as 'The world's greatest living soccer photographer'. He was also an official FIFA photographer for 24 years, and was at 13 World Cups and 9 Olympic Games. Peter currently has an exhibition of his work, called 'Keep off the Grass',  on display at De Montfort University in Leicester and has kindly offered to host a Special Viewing for the Old Wyvernians, at a date to be agreed.

If you are interested in going to the Special Viewing of Peter's work, then please let me know in the next week or so and we will make the necessary arrangements. If you prefer to go under your own steam then the exhibition is open from 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and 12 noon to 5 pm on Saturdays. It is in the Leicester Gallery of the Vijay Patel Building at DMU. 

I realise that those of you in far-flung places will not be able to go, but hopefully we will put some photos on the website and our facebook page.

Best wishes,

Brian
