News
It was agreed by a majority of 12 votes to 2 at the AGM of the Wymondham College Association on 17th November, that the name
of the Association would be changed to The Old Wymondhamians (pronounced wind-hame-ians).
The new name gives a clearer indication of the function of the Association as representing the former pupils and staff of Wymondham College.
A new Chairman was elected –
Mr Colin Leaford with
Mr Mike Herring as Vice Chair.
The Honorary President for the Year will be
Mrs Patrica Howard (nee Marsh).
For more information, please contact Jackie Glenn, the Alumni Secretary
Contact from Past Pupils & Staff
We were delighted to receive a letter from David Freeman (staff 54 - 62), yesterday, whose mention in the Newsletter had prompted him to get in touch. He talked about his designs for the school badge and the fact that he still has all his original sketches – hopefully he will be kind enough to lend them to the WCRemembered site so that we can all share in a real piece of College history. Watch this space for news of other past pupils who get in touch……..
2008 Events
2008 Reunion
Unfortunately, due to the extremely low number of ticket sales, the Old Wymondhamians Reunion on Saturday 28 June 2008 has been cancelled.
With such low numbers the committee have decided that the event would not be financially viable. Nor do we feel that this would be a truly enjoyable reunion with such a small number of people.
Thank you to those who have supported the Reunion, it’s a great shame that we did not have enough former pupils for this event to go ahead.
Summer Fayre
The Summer Fayre is taking place on Saturday 28th June at the College and we would be delighted to see you on the OW stand which will probably make a good meeting point for past students. Let’s hope we have a lovely sunny day!
Opening of New 6th Form House
The new 6th Form House is expected to be ready for opening in late Spring/early Summer 2008. The Principal has suggested to the WCA Committee that the event would be an opportunity to encourage more recent leavers back to the school, along with all other past students who would like to attend. More details to follow.
The Sixties Bunch Hit Sixty!
In June 2009 there will be a get-together somewhere in Norfolk to celebrate the 60's Bunch seeing in the 60's again. Make a plan to be there.

2009 Events
CGS Reunion
In September 2009 it will be 50 years since the ‘Fringe Grammar’ was started which eventually became the County Grammar School, subsequently integrated with Wymondham College
I wonder if I might put out an appeal for any CGS Old Boys and Girls to get in touch with a view to a reunion sometime in 2009.
