We are delighted to host our annual ONA Newcastle Dinner - the 98th such event to date! We will enjoy a drinks reception, three course dinner and wine. Join us for a fabulous opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new acquaintances from the Old Novo Community. The dress code is black tie. The evening will commence with a drinks reception at 6.15pm, followed by dinner at 7pm and carriages at 11pm. This year, we will also be celebrating reunions for the Classes of 1984 (40-year), 1974 (50-year), 1964 (60-year) and 1954 (70-year). For these year groups, there will be additional reunion activities and celebrations on Saturday 12th October, including a tour of the old (and new!) school buildings at 11am, followed by a casual lunch at 12.20pm. There will also be an opportunity to view an RGS home sports fixture for those interested. Once again for the ON Dinner there is a reduced price for ONs aged 30 and under, so we're excited to see all generations of Old Novos represented.

As we approach the Quincentenary year of the Royal Grammar School, please join us for a journey in to the past as we visit the six historic sites of the RGS around the City of Newcastle culminating in a private visit to the Tyne & Wear Archives at the 'Discovery Museum' to see the 1600 Royal Charter of the School. David Goldwater (Old Novo 51-62) will be your personal guide as you step back 500 years to the very beginning of the RGS and walk ​through to 2024. The walk will begin and end at RGS, Eskdale Terrace, where on our return afternoon tea will also be served.
