Old Gowers 148 Annual Dinner

Yesterday marked a significant occasion as the Old Gowers community came together to honour their enduring connection with the school at the esteemed Old Gowers 148 Annual Dinner. This highly anticipated event took place in the charming Refectory at UCS Frognal, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere for attendees. Guests were treated to a delightful three-course meal, expertly prepared to enhance the evening’s festivities.

It was an inspiring evening filled with wonderful conversations, shared memories, and a collective commitment to maintaining the strong bonds that unite the Gowers community.

We were thrilled to see 160 attendees at the dinner, especially the Old Gowers who travelled from as far away as Singapore, Canada, the USA, Spain and Ireland. One Old Gower commented, “I looked around our long table and marvelled at the diversity of our careers, both private and public sector, and our powers of reinvention – doctors, lawyers and accountants but also ad men and marketeers, consultants, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, a Maths professor, a rabbi and an inventor whose genius keeps us safe as we fly around the world.” John Jay (1970–1975)
The next Old Gowers event will be our Summer Drinks evening, Linking Parents with Old Gowers. This will be a wonderful opportunity for younger alumni to network with current parents and established alumni while sharing stories, experiences and insights that enrich our school community.
