The OIU has launched two WhatsApp Groups for Old Ignatians in London and New York. The WhatsApp groups are intended to keep Old Ignatians engaged and connected about events and activities relevant to them in their city.

These announcement boards are not a chat group, but simply a place where Old Ignatians can contact the Admin Managers to post details of upcoming Old Boy gatherings. 

So, if you are an Old Ignatian living or visiting London or New York, please join the OR in London WhatsApp group now:

Join OR in London

Join OR in New York  

And if you are a regular organiser of Old Boy events in London or New York please contact connect@oiu.org.au (to discuss chat management).

Notes for members of the OR in New York on London WhatsApp Groups:

These groups are for announcements about events and activities relevant to Old Ignatians in New York or London. Any Old Ignatian may join, but only Admin Managers can post announcements. If you would like an announcement posted, please send one of the Admin Managers a direct WhatsApp message containing: 

• Event name
• Date and time
• Venue or location
• A brief description
• Booking or RSVP link
• Contact details
• An image or flyer, if available 

Please provide the announcement in wording that is ready to post. An Admin Manager will check that it is relevant and then share it with the group on your behalf. 

We also welcome additional Admin Managers to help keep the groups active and ensure announcements are posted promptly. If you would like to become an Admin Manager, please message one of the existing Admin Managers directly. Applications will be considered and approved by the current Admin Managers. 

To keep the group useful and easy to follow, it is not open for general discussion, social chat or business promotion.
