MELROSE 7s - SATURDAY 24TH MAY 2025

Former Pupil Association 2025 Dinner 

Our Former Pupil Association 2025 Dinner was a sell out on Saturday night.  We were well looked after by the The Buccleuch Arms Hotel, St. Boswells. It was lovely to see some of the younger generation supporting the evening along with a table of staff and parents. We were delighted to welcome back PAJ (Phil) Hawes, as our Guest Speaker (Phil was our joint speaker with George Potts at the 2019 Dinner, just before COVID).  Phil was a member of staff at St. Mary's from 1979 to 1988, and was History and Games teacher.  He often accompanied pupils on school trips to Ru'a Fiola and York, he was Housemaster, was involved in the Debating Society; he started up the young Ornithologist Club, and helped with school shows.

FP Dinner - Friday 1st March 2024

A most enjoyable Former Pupil Dinner was held at the Buccleuch Arms Hotel on Friday night. This year we were honoured to welcome Carl Hogg FP as our Guest Speaker.  Carl is currently the Director of Academy and Development for Gloucester Rugby, following an illustrious career of coaching, playing Professional Rugby and representing Scotland. However the majority of his rugby was played here in Melrose alongside his great friend, Doddie Weir.  This year at Melrose Sevens, he will be inducted into the Melrose RFC Hall of Fame.
