The group, who are all now in their eighties, have met for their catch-up for more than 56 years.
It's Thursday night in the White Swan where, in one corner, songs by Cliff Richard, Derek and the Dominoes and Rick Astley are among those being belted out through the speaker - and by some of the less sober punters.
The group, all now in their early eighties, reckon they've scarcely missed two dozen meet-ups since 1968. The pub trips started with then students Ken and Paul, who used to take advantage of free study periods to play golf and have a crafty pint afterwards. "I'd say we average just over nine years a pub," Peter explains. "Most of the pubs we've stopped going to are because they've shut down."
A reunion to mark the group's 55th anniversary, which ended up being delayed for a year, was held last month for the benefit of the expats.
