Dress for the Dinner is formal with<br \/>black tie, Highland attire or lounge suit all acceptable. Members, their partners and guests are warmly invited to gather for<br \/>pre-Dinner drinks and relaxed conversation from 6.30 pm.<br \/><br \/>I\u2019m delighted to say that we have lined up three exceptional speakers for the 2011 Annual Dinner. We welcome Jane Frith,<br \/><br \/>the first female Rector in the long history of the Royal High School, who will be introducing herself and explaining her ambitions<br \/><br \/>for the school. And to demonstrate the sweep and scale of the achievements of Royal High alumni, we welcome the<br \/><br \/>world record holding test pilot Eric Brown and the choreographer Rosie Kay, founder of one of the most exciting dance companies<br \/><br \/>in Britain today. They will be reflecting on their time at the High School and how that experience contributed to their<br \/><br \/>subsequent achievements.<br \/><br \/>Once again we have timed the Annual Dinner to coincide with the Calcutta Cup weekend at Twickenham. There should therefore<br \/><br \/>be a large Edinburgh contingent in attendance and the evening will provide the perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends<br \/><br \/>and make sure that auld acquaintance is not forgot, especially as the Bar, with its extremely competitive prices, remains open<br \/><br \/>until midnight. The price of the excellent three-course dinner remains at \u00a345 and demand for tickets is bound to be high.<br \/><br \/>Make sure that you don\u2019t miss out by making your cheque payable to \u2018The Royal High School Club in London\u2019 and sending it to<br \/><br \/>Alex Prentice, using the reply slip below.<br \/><br \/>The Victory Services Club is located just around the corner from Marble Arch underground station.
