On Saturday 9 November we had the pleasure of welcoming over 100 alumni from the Class of 2014 back to campus for the much anticipated 10-Year Reunion!
The day began with a tour of their former schools, giving alumni a chance to see what had changed and what has remained very much the same over the last decade. They were quick to notice even the smallest differences – like a new carpet – but also delighted to spot the occasional photo of themselves still displayed around campus! The LGS alumni were finally given the privilege to climb to the top of the Tower for spectacular views of Loughborough.
After the tours everyone came together on the LGS Quad to enjoy a Drinks Reception. It was great to see alumni reconnecting with old friends and catching up with former members of staff. We were lucky enough to have several staff members join us, including Paul and Helen Fisher, Pippa Kent, Christine Todd, Mel Starkings, Mani Ghaly and Caroline Winship.
Guests then made their way to lunch in Burton Hall, with welcomes from Stuart Swan, Director of Development and Alumni Engagement, and Dr Clare Burnett (LHS 1997), Chair of the Loughburians’ Alumni Association Committee. The day was full of opportunities to reconnect with friends, share memories of their time at school and reminisce. There was plenty of laughter as alumni looked through their old photos, especially the LGS Year 8 photos, to see who looked the same, and the Yearbook proved to be a particular highlight, with alumni looking to see who had completed their prophecies that they made 10 years ago!
