Membership of the OE Club opens up access to a wide-range of Chapters, Societies and Clubs. These professional networks, and social and sporting clubs, benefit long-established members as well as those about to embark upon the first stage of their careers.
Reflecting Epsom’s global outlook, and in recognition of the fact that not everyone is able to return to KT17, the OE Club holds regular events around the world.
Pupils at the College are encouraged to participate in various events, hosted by the OE Professional Societies, in order to develop their communication skills and advance their thinking about a future career.
If you have any questions or comments about our professional societies, or are able to offer careers advice and/or work experience, please get in touch.

Each member’s name then goes into a prize draw, which takes place at the Ashburton Dinner in June and the remaining 50% of the donations is divided between four winners.
