In July 1981 young people from all over the world came together for the Guardian Study Vacation, hosted by the Manchester Guardian Newspaper and housed at the Royal Holloway College, University of London.

A Twenty Year Reunion for GSV '81 members was held in June 2001. There may be a 25 year reunion at Royal Holloway College itself.
