Where can I get one of those anniversary mugs you were giving away?

By Anna Myers, 150th Anniversary Project Manager


This is a question I get asked a lot. Those mugs we gave away at the campus launch of our anniversary back in March are lovely, practical, waste-saving and thrifty.

They’re one of several anniversary items you’ll soon be able to buy, including:

• anniversary beer – developed by a local beer company run by a Brookes alumnus
• anniversary tea – refreshing beverages in our Brookes colours!
• framed prints and cards – beautiful drawings by our modern founder, John Henry Brookes
• first day covers – special edition Brookes stamps, to be issued from Bletchley Park, where our teacher training began in the 1940s
• our anniversary books – more on those in my next blog.

All these will be on sale from September this year and reasonably priced for our students, staff and visitors. All profits will be used to create exciting opportunities for our students during their time at Brookes.
