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).
Joining Instructions
We would love to welcome new members to the group. A yearly subscription is just £10, with no charge for current students.
Please contact the Membership Secretary for a membership application form, or for membership renewal or standing order forms.
When you become an NCA member, please be assured that your data will be kept safe and confidential in line with GDPR policy and our own Privacy and Data Protection Policy, last updated on 4 October 2023.
We currently have six ex-officio committee members and are looking at our succession planning, as some committee members will step down in the next few years. We would welcome interest from new and existing members in joining our committee.
If you are interested in joining the committee or have any other questions, please get in touch using the Email Group contacts link on the ‘About us’ tab on this webpage.
