Northumbria, North East, United Kingdom

The Northumbrian Cambridge Association has brought together alumni living in the Northeast of England for over 95 years. It is the oldest Cambridge Alumni group. We meet in most months for walks, talks, concerts, films, freshers or festive events, an annual dinner, and an AGM.

Prospective NCA members are welcome to attend one of our meetings and bring guests. We aim to provide alumni living or working in the Northeast of England with the opportunity for social and professional networking and career development. We also support current students through an annual freshers’ reception before going up, to which current students are invited.

We always welcome new members (our subscription is £10 a year). For information about joining, please contact the Northumbrian Cambridge Association
