60 reunion Years On

Classes of 1962–1966 and 1963–1967

More than 70 Old Collegians from the classes of 1962–1966 and 1963–1967 returned to St Andrew’s College on Friday 17 – Sunday 19 March for their 60 Years On reunion. Their three days of reminiscing and celebration got underway with their attendance at the traditional Founders’ Day Assembly and Highland Games, which was a great occasion of noise and colour. On the Friday evening, the Old Collegians enjoyed a lively Cocktail Party, where Bill Gardner and Blair Stockwell (both 1967) were delighted to see their names on the Centenary Sports Wall in Gym 2. In attendance were three King’s Counsels’ from the Class of 1966, Nick Davidson, Peter Whiteside, and Philip Sapsford, who had travelled from Switzerland for the occasion.

On the Saturday evening, 90 guests attended the formal dinner, which was emceed by Bruce Bascand (1967) and featured an hilarious Toast to the College by Philip King (1966). The weekend was completed with a chapel service on the Sunday morning to remember those who had gone before. It was a very successful and special 60 Years On reunion, with the large group enjoying their reconnection with both the College, and each other.
