AGM & Lunch - Saturday 14th October 2023

The Rochester Grammar School Alumni Association invites you and your school friends to join us for our AGM, a tour of the school and then lunch on Saturday 14th October 2023.  

Why not contact friends from your year and organise a reunion? If you cannot join us for the whole day, please feel free to just come to the lunch. To attend, please complete the form at the end of the newsletter.

The RGS 2023 Alumni Newsletter

Rochester Grammar School Alumni Association is run by Alumni for you.

We endeavour to promote and maintain links with past pupils and support present pupils. A great many Alumni keep in touch with each other and play a continuing part in the development of the School. We have a very active mentoring scheme in place and members provide help for the pupils as they plan to go on to university and work. The school would welcome you to become a part of it.

Through our database we are able to put Alumni in contact with each other, although no personal details are disclosed without permission.

We have a Committee, and we are always ready to welcome any Alumni who wish to join us. We would love your views on how we can improve your Alumni Association and make it work for you. We meet two or three times a year and are always on the lookout for new members of the association and committee.

Membership form

Becoming a lifetime member of the Alumni Association costs only £30, and brings with it a host of benefits, as listed below:

  • Members receive the interesting and informative annual newsletter by email or post.
  • Members are invited to attend the AGM, where they are entitled to vote on any motions.
  • Members are invited to attend the annual lunch at a reduced price.

If you are not yet a member, please do consider joining us. Through the Association you can support the life of the current school community, while also reminiscing about the School you enjoyed in the past.

The Alumni Association hosts its AGM at the School each Autumn, and this is followed by a lunch to which all alumni are welcome. This is a great opportunity to catch up with your peers and take a tour of the School to marvel at the current facilities. You do not have to be a member to attend and we would very much like to share this occasion with as many alumni as possible.

For more information, please email avrilnoble@blueyonder.co.uk with your details, including your years at the School. We also maintain a non-members electronic mailing list so that all alumni can keep in touch with the School and the Association.
