Forthcoming Reunions
25th Anniversary Reunion – Class of '85
Saturday 6 November
The 25th Anniversary Reunion is growing in popularity as a very informal and relaxed get-together which is enjoyed by all starting with a tour of parts of the School to break the ice and have school memories flooding back. A Drinks Reception is followed by a buffet dinner with plenty of time to catch up with classmates and former members of staff.
The Development Office is beginning work to find members of the Class of '85 for their 25th Anniversary Reunion as we are missing addresses for a large number of the group. If you know of someone not receiving Quadrangle, therefore not on our mailing list, please contact us with their details. Initial letters to those we do have will be sent out in the summer with general details and to ask for help in gathering names and addresses.

Wednesday 15 December
The Development Office is hosting a Christmas Drinks Reception for all Former Pupils from the Class of 2010 to come back to the School and catch up with classmates and staff after their first few months of leaving Heriot's. Invitations will be sent out by email in early November but please note the date in your diary, and we hope to see you then.
If you would like to arrange a reunion for other years, the Development Office will be happy to assist.
