Rugbeian Community of North America |
On Thursday 21 November, Rugbeians and Biltonians across America came together virtually to celebrate shared histories and forge new connections at our Virtual Reunion.
In the reunion we heard from the Head Master of Rugby School, Gareth Parker-Jones, and the Head of Bilton Grange, Gareth Jones, about the latest School news. We thanked our outgoing President, David Harding (W 72-76) and welcomed the new President, Ed Day (BG 78-86, T 86-91).
Ed Day reflected on the gathering:
"Our 4th virtual reunion revealed that the growing Rugbeian Community here in North America includes both nonagenarians and some that have just embarked on their higher education across the Atlantic. The Headmasters brought alumni, parents and other friends of Rugby and Bilton Grange back to each school with all the latest news and exciting plans for the coming year.
David Harding highlighted occasions in 2024 where Community members have gathered in person and shared those events that have been planned so far for the next 12 months. I join him in encouraging all to seek an opportunity to reconnect."
