Some would have you believe that attending the Old Ruymians AGM is like watching paint dry, but let me assure you that this event represents the very finest in contemporary theatre. Set in the old school library, the event is a subtle blend of "Yes, Minister" and Cluedo. Whilst the script is frequently repeated the opportunity for improvisation is rarely missed, particularly in the "toys thrown out of the pram" act. There is a fairly regular, if declining cast and newcomers are gladly welcomed to any performance. The audience is invariably on tenterhooks unsure as to whether the meeting will close before or after the bar in the dining hall has been opened. Whilst there is some talk of this annual ritual being replaced in the future by a more democratic electronic process, I would recommend that you take the opportunity of witnessing the event on at least one occasion. The next AGM is scheduled for Saturday 27th June 2020 in the traditional school library, in advance of the Annual Reunion Dinner which will be held in the dining hall. There is no need for an audition, just turn up on the day.
