50 Years On (1969–1973)

The class of 1969 had an enjoyable reunion on Friday 20 – Sunday 22 September 2019. A few attendees were present at the Cultural Assembly on the Friday morning, and were impressed by the stunning array of talent. A group of 46 Old Collegians and some partners, attended a Cocktail Party on the Friday evening. Judging by the decibel level it was a great evening, which continued on at No. 4 bar in Merivale. Viewing Bert Govan’s classic car collection was a highlight of the Saturday morning, along with a visit to Auto Restorations, to see an amazing array of cars in various states of rebuild. A sumptuous dinner was held in Strowan House on the Saturday evening, attended by 62 Old Collegians and partners, as well as Rector, Christine Leighton, and Board Chair, Bryan Pearson. The Old Collegians’ President, Jonathan Wells, gave a spirited Address to the Haggis. The rekindled friendships and sharing of stories from school days past made for a wonderful gathering, enjoyed by all.
