Our Annual Reception & Dinner is to be held in the St Trinnean’s Room, St Leonard’s Hall.

Our Guest Speaker has been changed last-minute. We will now be having an informal after-dinner talk by Dr Marie Macpherson. 

Dr Macpherson graduated from Strathclyde University with an Honours degree in English and Russian and was then awarded a PhD in Russian Literature for her thesis on the nineteenth century Russian writer, Mikhail Lermontov.
