Scottish Branch Dinner 2017
The Dinner was held on Saturday 26th November, 2017 at The Royal Scots Club, Edinburgh. In attendance were: Peter Lever (President, St Beghian Society) (G 62-66), David Lord (Secretary & Treasurer, St Beghian Society) (SH 60-65) and Fiona (Former Staff), Jeremy Hallows (Headmaster), David Parker (G 64-68), Anthony Wills (F 60-64) and Joanna, Tim Mackay (FS 68-73). In absentia with apologies Jerry Tsang (SH 96-03) and Mary, Nick Hunter (SH 63-67) and Bette, and Ian Hunter (SH 96-03) and Francesca.
A three-course meal was served in the Scott Room followed by speeches from the Society President, Peter Lever and Headmaster, Jeremy Hallows. Peter Lever (OSB President) gave us a summary of where things lie with the expected re-opening of the school in September 2018, with much work and fundraising still to be completed. This was followed by a summation by the newly appointed Headmaster outlining all the hoops to be jumped through to make the school, staff and facilities ready for re-opening.
Although we were a small band of OSBs, we represented an important continuity in the current circumstances and it is hoped more may join us next year. Due to a sudden illness, our new Secretary, Jerry Tsang, and his partner Mary Welsh, were unable to attend the function, and many thanks must go to David Parker, who was able to call upon his twenty years of experience as former Scottish Branch Secretary, for stepping in admirably as the last minute host. A very enjoyable evening was had by all and thanks go to the staff of the Royal Scots for once again looking after the OSBs so well and providing excellent facilities.
