Club History

At the turn of the 20th Century, while many small clubs existed within Hillhead High School, the was no real club for former pupils to maintain contact after graduating from the school. This gap was identified by an enterprising young lawyer called James Grieve, who on the 10th of October 1902, convened a meeting of 90 men, who unanimously resolved to form the Hillhead High School Club. Initially its sole object was to “promote social intercourse among the members by holding an annual reunion Dinner” but sports sections soon emerged. It is believed that Bernie spoke at one of the early dinners, although the exact date is unknown.

Initially the Club catered for many sports, including football, cricket (ladies initially!), ladies hockey and athletics.
