The Old Boys’ Club

Last year saw a lot of renewed action and socialising for the Old Boys’ Club and great to see so much interest in the club from recent leavers.

The sporting awards saw golfing trophies go to Rory Galloway and David Bowen. The club also have trophies for curling and fishing as well as the Cateran Cup endurance trophy; if there are any old boys looking to take part in next year’s sporting events, please let me know.

The club were delighted to make a £2,000 donation to contribute towards the new floodlights at Mayfield and we hope this will help with the development of rugby and sporting activity at the school. The club is keen to assist with future school donations so if any of the old boys are keen to get involved in fund raising do not hesitate to get involved.

The London dinner at the start of November saw a good turnout with 30 guests attending a dinner at the RAF Club in Piccadilly.

The annual Dundee Dinner at the Invercarse Hotel saw 130 guests in attendance with big turnouts from the class of 2020 and 2022. It was great to see so many recent leavers attend with family members and the club is hopeful that next year will see a good show from the class of 2023. The morning after the Dundee dinner saw many of the Old Boys return to Mayfield to support the Boys Rugby 1st XV in their plate game against Heriots; it was a great opportunity for former pupils to return to the school and cheer on the home team.
