The Royal High School Club in London's next Annual Dinner will be held on Friday 23rd of March 2012 at a new venue, the highly-recommended Royal Air Force Club in Piccadilly. Book now to ensure a place. Full details in the News and Events Blog .
Our President
The club is pleased to announce Valerie Peay was elected as our new President succeeding Al Senter who decided to stand down after three successful years.
Valerie is a senior manager with British Telecom who works in the company's fast-changing internet services business. If you Google Valerie you will find that she has a presence on many of the current networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and you might like to see her describing her work for BT on YouTube.
Outside of work Valerie is an enthusiastic traveller and she also finds time to serve on one of the London Livery Companies. Valerie returns to her Edinburgh roots on a regular basis and, while she is up there, she plans to strengthen our links with the Royal High School at Barnton.
Valerie's message to members will appear on the web site shortly.
Committee Changes
The committee line up also changed at the AGM. Have a look at the mugshots on our Committee page.

November's winter event was held at Le Troisième Restaurant at 3, Panton Street SW1 on Tuesday November 15th .
The centrepiece of the evening was a real treat for fans of Downton Abbey. Our own David Robb, starring in the series as Dr. Clarkson, was in conversation with theatre journalist Al Senter. They discussed the impact of the programme and reflected on David's distinguished acting career which includes: I, Claudius, The Glittering Prizes, Taggart, The Crow Road and Midsomer Murders. You might also have heard David as the quintessential Richard Hannay in several radio dramatisations of the novels by John Buchan.
New Visitors
Have you had a look in our Visitors Book? You may find your old friends there? Or you could post your own message.
Does anyone have a photo of the 1965 prefects? If so, Alastair Osborne 1960-66 would like to see it. He also thinks the school was a bit middle class and slightly snooty at that time. Please feel free to post a reply if you agree or disagree.
Garry McLea (Regent Road and Barnton)1966 - 70 doesn't seem to have gelled with former head of Classics "Fred" Scott, while Paul Jackson, from the year above, regrets missing David Robb again.
- David Robb, a man of many faces.
