This is an elegant, social club open to all the Herschel Alumni. The original name was 'Lord and Lady Herschel’ as it welcomes a wide circle of Herschel guests, families, friends etc.
'Lady Herschel’ meets 6 to 12 times a year - at various up-market venues: The Cellars, Mount Nelson and The Vineyard - on the last Tuesday of a month from 6.00 - 7.30pm (many go on to suppers etc.). It is not unusual to see Matrics from twenty years apart enjoying a glass of wine while having great fun and meeting new friends.

The Lady Herschel Cocktail, Social and Networking Circle
The Lady Herschel Cocktail, Social and Networking Circle
has been in full swing this year and the fifty-sixth event
was hosted at the Mount Nelson Hotel on Tuesday 25 November,
2008. There were over forty, excited party-goers on the
flower-filled terrace, champagne glasses clicked, old
friendships were renewed and the historic hotel rocked to
the sounds of the happy gathering. 'Lady Herschel' is the
social arm of Herschel and it aims to provide convivial,
elegant evenings for the Alumni, their spouses, guests,
Mothers and friends. At the November evenings we welcome
many Herschelians from overseas - home for the festive
season! We now have a circle of baby girls, born since the
Club started, and they are all booked for Herschel so we are
planning and gearing for the future!
This year we were even fortunate enough to welcome Bruce
Probyn and his wife, Margie, to one of the evenings.
'Lady Herschel' is open to everyone so, if you would like
to be on the mailing list please contact Daphne Beames at
gilespie@iafrica.com.
In 2009 we are planning six meetings: at Silwood, under the
beautiful trees; at The Cellars-Hohenhort; The Vineyard,
Kelvin Grove; at Herchel's fabulous 'New Archives' venue;
and the grand end of year Gala at the Mount Nelson. Dates
and times are: 6.00 - 8.00pm on the last Thursday of every
second month (to be announced). See you there.
