What a change! – do you know who we are?
Excitingly, we (the QMU Graduates’ Association) have changed our name to the QMU Association.
At our AGM in June last year, the change was approved by members, and now reflects the broader reach the Association now has – which includes current and previous members of staff, and those people who have previously gained an award from QMU.
We are a social and supportive association offering friendship and mentoring. Life membership costs £50.

One major benefit of being an Association member is the use of Madras Lodge, a property in the beautiful seaside village of Gullane, East Lothian, which is available to rent for short breaks or longer stays.
Madras Lodge, Gullane
Recently, upgrading work commenced at the Lodge with new heating installed and refreshed décor in some areas. This is an on-going project, and our plans for 2024 include a major roof overhaul and continuing
with updating décor.
The House is more accessible than The Loft, with a small single bedroom downstairs and a wet room.
The Loft sleeps up to five people, if using the sofa bed.

Events
A delicious spring dinner was cooked and served by hospitality and tourism students at the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School (ENCTS). The evening’s theme was Sherlock Holmes, and the students did a marvellous job with the theming with keyrings, bottle covers and clues to be solved.
A lovely Christmas lunch was held in December at the Royal Scots Club, Edinburgh. It was so popular, we
had a waiting list for places!
We welcome new members. Our membership form can be found on our QMU Association website www.qmugraduateassociation.com
We are always pleased to have new volunteers to assist on the committee or in
other roles. If you would like to get involved, contact us at: E: qmugradass@outlook.com
