THE old boys of King Edward VII School in Taiping, Perak, will hold their 56th annual reunion dinner at Hotel Perdana in the town at 8pm tomorrow.
Old Edwardian Association president Mohaideen Mohd Ishack said former students from several countries were expected to attend, including those residing in Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom and United States.
“The guest of honour at the dinner will be Old Edwardian Datuk Mohd Zaki Mahyudin, who is also Perak financial officer,” said Mohaideen.
The school’s 107th annual Sports Day will be held on the school field at 8.30am on the same day.
Mohaideen said the Yeoh Teng Khoo Rugby Match between Old Edwardians and present school team will take place at the school field at 5pm today.
The Edward Mai Hockey Match, also between old boys and current students, will be held simultaneously at the same field.
Mohaideen said the association had spent about RM3,000 to repair the 120-year-old school gate.
“As it is made of cast iron, repairing and repainting it was quite costly,” he said, adding that the gate was presented by King Edward VII from England in 1905.
As for the annual general meeting, it will be held at the association’s premises at No.119, Jalan Station, at 10am on Sunday.
