The Jordanhill College Retired Staff Club was set up for retired members of staff of Jordanhill College of Education. The club's aims were to facilitate opportunities for members to meet together at organised lunches and other activities. Set up in 1988 with around eighty members its activities centred on four annual lunches and enjoyed visits to some of Glasgow's finest places of interest such as the House for an Art Lover, the Burrell Collection, and the Tall Ship. In 2011 the club decided to disband due to falling membership and attendance at events and the imminent closure of the Jordanhill campus.
