Annual Dinner 2011

It is a great pleasure to announce once more that the Annual Dinner will be held in the El Alamein Room at the Victory Services Club,
63-79, Seymour Street, Marble Arch, London W2 2HF on Friday March 11th, 2011 at 7.30 pm. Dress for the Dinner is formal with
black tie, Highland attire or lounge suit all acceptable. Members, their partners and guests are warmly invited to gather for
pre-Dinner drinks and relaxed conversation from 6.30 pm.

I’m delighted to say that we have lined up three exceptional speakers for the 2011 Annual Dinner. We welcome Jane Frith,

the first female Rector in the long history of the Royal High School, who will be introducing herself and explaining her ambitions

for the school. And to demonstrate the sweep and scale of the achievements of Royal High alumni, we welcome the

world record holding test pilot Eric Brown and the choreographer Rosie Kay, founder of one of the most exciting dance companies

in Britain today. They will be reflecting on their time at the High School and how that experience contributed to their

subsequent achievements.

Once again we have timed the Annual Dinner to coincide with the Calcutta Cup weekend at Twickenham. There should therefore

be a large Edinburgh contingent in attendance and the evening will provide the perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends

and make sure that auld acquaintance is not forgot, especially as the Bar, with its extremely competitive prices, remains open

until midnight. The price of the excellent three-course dinner remains at £45 and demand for tickets is bound to be high.

Make sure that you don’t miss out by making your cheque payable to ‘The Royal High School Club in London’ and sending it to

Alex Prentice, using the reply slip below.
