Gentlemen’s Luncheon 2018

Ninety-five Old Collegians who attended St Andrew’s College 60-plus years ago, gathered on the last Friday of the holidays to mix and mingle, and reminisce about days gone by. The gentlemen enjoyed taking a tour of the new Green Library and Innovation Centre, and were amazed at what the students are learning and producing today. At the luncheon guests enjoyed hearing from special guest speaker, and our Regulus and Collegian editor, Jo Bailey, who shared some of the war stories from her new book, Never Forget , including that of Old Collegian Naylor Hillary (1933). George Scrimshaw (1955) said a beautiful grace and proposed a lovely toast to absent friends. Christine Leighton gave guests a warm welcome and update on College life. The luncheon was a poignant day of collective remembrance and excited anticipation with many of these gentlemen looking forward to the Pipe Band centenary celebrations in March 2019.
