    Class of 2020 Leavers’ Reunion – Friday 2 September 2022

    Maidstone Grammar School invites the Class of 2020 to a Leavers’ Reunion on Friday 2 September 2022 in the Big Hall at MGS between 7pm and 10pm.

    Details of the event will follow in due course but it is the school’s intention to combine what would have been a prom with a prize giving ceremony that you would have attended at the Senior Speech Day in the September of 2020.

    The cost of the event will be £28 per person which will include a sit down three-course meal. If you would like to attend please complete the e-form via the attached flyer
    Leavers Flyer with Link and/or this link (https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=bVZYQqE_J0ieVgqz5wlUF1K2giWC5M1KjARPgTwRYK9UMjdGQUU2ODJBUVFZOVhSUDYxMTFYRVAwUSQlQCN0PWcu%20).

    In order to ensure that the event is successful, it would be really good if you could spread the word and share this opportunity with your fellow 2020 Leavers who have either not yet signed up with the society or with whom we have lost contact.

    We must stress that the deadline to sign up for this event is Friday July 15th, to make sure that the School has enough numbers to hold the event. We hope to see many of you there for this Reunion Event.
