The Events Roundup
Looking back, it is hard to believe that normal reunion events took place as recently as February 2020. However, since then, we have had some wonderful virtual reunions that have perhaps set a precedent for the future that none of us would have foreseen a year ago. This has allowed us to remain connected throughout this pandemic. That said, we look forward to a time when we can organise in-person events again, whether at RMS or further afield.

Since lockdown, we have held a number of virtual events including ‘Drill at Home’, Zoom Reunions and Remembrance Sunday. Pictured to the right are some photos of the highlights.
Careers Breakfast with the Sixth Form
On Thursday 13 February, we welcomed seven Old Girls back to school to talk to the Sixth Form about their careers. We had an amazing range of industries represented including Psychology, Geology, Aerospace, Illustration, Patisserie and Engineering.
The Sixth Form arrived early for coffee and croissants and were soon introduced to the Old Girls. Each Old Girl chatted to the pupils in small groups. The girls were able to ask questions and find out more about them and their journeys since leaving RMS. The Sixth Form were thrilled to have met this amazing panel of women and were thoroughly inspired for their futures.
A huge thank you to our Old Girls for joining us for this event; Susan Buckle (2003), Emma Cowlam (2005) Alex Kenison (2011), Sharina Nathan (2010), Gayatri Sahay (2009), Megann Whattam (2015) and Pippa Withers (2003).
Charity Drill
Over 160 Old Girls, Staff, Former Staff and parents braved Storm Ciara to take part in Charity Drill on Sunday 9 February. Some of our Old Girls travelled from as far away as France and the USA for this special occasion.
The afternoon started with a three-hour practice led by an amazing team of Drill Prefects who managed to get the drillers on to their marks in just a few hours. After a Sunday Roast in the Dining Hall, the performers were ready for the show for friends and family – the Great Hall balcony and stage were packed!
Thank you to all those who took part and we look forward to running this event again when COVID-19 is a distant memory…
