Save the Date – 2026 Golden Girls’ Luncheon
Save the Date! Golden Girls’ Luncheon – Saturday 31 October 2026
We are delighted to announce that the much-loved Golden Girls’ Luncheon will return again this year.
A special event for alumni who graduated in 1976 or earlier, it is a day to reconnect, laugh, and relive cherished memories.
Please mark your calendars for Saturday 31 October 2026 and join us for what promises to be another memorable and heartwarming celebration.
Formal invitations will be sent out later in the year, but we encourage you to save the date now and share it with your Golden Girls network.
