About the club
The Royal High School of Edinburgh's London Club President, Al Senter (RHS 1971), and the committee invite former pupils of the school as well as present and former teachers to join the club.
The Royal High School Club in London was formed in 1888. After meeting for several years it fell into abeyance and was revived only to fall again during the First World War. The club started to function once more in 1920 since when it has kept going. Your help in keeping the Club "alive and kicking" would be appreciated.
In 2002, the London Club had 57 paid members - a club record ! As at Nov. 2003, the RHSCL had a mailing of 144 RHS FP's who left the School between 1925 and 1998 (mixed ages and many new/young joiners): 32 from 1990's; 9 from 1980's; 19 from 1970's; 36 from 1960's; 22 from 1950's; 18 from 1940's; 4 from 1930's and 4 from 1920's.
The Club makes charitable donations to the School and Scottish Charities and also funds three School Prizes (donating £150), which are awarded annually at the Prize-Giving Ceremony. Annual subscriptions (currently £15) go towards the above and also contribute towards the invitation of guests to our Annual Dinner. The Club provides a point of contact for RHS FP's living in London and beyond, across diverse ages and backgrounds, and facilitates further contacts with other Scots. The strong history and traditions of the school, alongside the friendships and the values, help to create the common bond shared by RHS FP's in London. Further details available from the Club Secretary.
