President's Welcome
Dear fellow Gordonians,
It is my honour and privilege to welcome you all to the Gordonian Association, our community of former pupils and friends of Robert Gordon's College. This association has always been a testament to the lasting bonds formed within the walls of the college, serving as a bridge that connects us across different generations, experiences, and life paths after our time at schoolhill.
The Gordonian Association is more than just a network; it is a family where we celebrate our time at the college, and support one another in our personal and professional journeys. We are committed to creating opportunities for our members to come together, reminisce about old times, and forge new memories through a variety of events and activities.
Whether you are a recent leaver or have long since left the classrooms of Robert Gordon's College, your connection to this association remains invaluable. We encourage you to take an active role in the Gordonian community, share your stories, and join us through our events and acitivies throughout the year.
I look forward to seeing you at our various activities, gatherings and events.
With warmest regards,
Laurence McLeod, Association President

Seafield Memorial Donation Page Opens
This year marks 100 years since the acquisition in 1925 by Robert Gordon’s College of the Seafield Playing Fields at Thorngrove, the purchase being funded by the Gordonian Association (formerly the Gordon's College Former Pupils’ Association) to provide sporting opportunities for current and former pupils of Robert Gordon's College. The Playing Field at Seafield was purchased in memory of the Gordonian soldiers who gave their lives during the First World War. The sale proceeds from Seafield contributed to the development of the modern Countesswells Playing Fields, which continue to be an important part of the school and wider Gordonian community. To honour the centenary and ensure that the sacrifice of those Gordonians is never forgotten, we are raising £6,000 to install a commemorative stone at Countesswells. This memorial will stand as a lasting tribute to the former pupils of Robert Gordon's College who lost their lives in service to their country. By supporting this campaign, you are helping us preserve their memory for generations to come, providing a place for reflection for current students, alumni, and the wider community.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to reaching our goal. Please consider contributing to this meaningful cause and help us honour the legacy of the fallen Gordonians.
Thank you for your support.
