Advance notice

The June OW 100 club draw will be held at the supper of the OW Golf Day at Dunston Hall Hotel, Norwich on Friday 26th June 2026

The July OW 100 club draw will be at The Boars in Spooner Row https://www.theboars.co.uk/ on Wednesday 22nd July 2026

This is to tie with the following from Geoff Lewis:-

SUMMER GET TOGETHER AND COLLEGE TOUR

After a brief hiatus, the College have agreed to a tour of the campus this year for the alumni. Due to staffing constraints, there will be no barbeque, but tea/coffee and biscuits will be laid on-plus hopefully sticky buns/cake.

The plan is to tie this in with a social gathering at the July OW 100 Club draw, which was a great success last year. The draw will be on Wednesday 22nd July, at the Boars, Spooner Row, and the tour will start at the College office on Thursday 23rd July at 11.00 am.

I will at some stage before the end of summer term need to provide numbers to the College, so there is no immediate rush to respond.

I know that a number of people would not be comfortable returning to the College, so there is no obligation to do the tour after the Wednesday social.

 

If you wish to attend this please contact Geoff directly at  wycol1965@gmail.com

 

The August OW 100 club draw will be held at The Chequers in Binham on Wednesday 26th August 2026

This is our annual trip to the northern/coastal regions of Norfolk.

Take care all.

I have been made aware of a revitalised Facebook page recently renamed Wymondham College Alumni which has lots of interesting comments and reminicences:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1532014457127574

It's a Private Group so you might need to be approved by a current member.

 

Just a reminder that the The Chapel Project appeal was launched with the aim of preserving the last remaining Nissen hut at the college. The Old Wymondhamians have made a substantial donation to this cause although it doesn't show up on this running total page.

A funeral service will be held on Monday 11th May at 11 a.m.

Venue: Morley St Botolph's Church, Wymondham NR18 9TH 

I have tried to contact everyone who I think might like to attend, but no doubt there will be people I have missed or don’t have details for, so please do pass on this message to anyone you think would be interested to know.

Annual Golf Day 2026

 

We are now organising the annual Wymondham College Golf competition and subsequent dinner.
It will be on Friday 26th June at Dunston Hall.
This year we will sit down to dinner a bit earlier at 6.00pm so that those who live locally and drive to the venue will be able to drive home whilst it is still light.
Tee times will be 12.00 noon and so that it does not preclude the less fit the trophy will be judged on the first nine holes. There is no reason why those who wish to play the full 18 holes.
The golf package with a round of golf, tea or coffee and a bacon roll will be £40 per person.
The three course dinner will be £35.00 per person.
The menu can be seen here.
If you intend to stay at the hotel over night please contact the reception on 020 3027 6614 or via their web site.
At this stage do not send me any money or menu choices.
Just let me know the number coming; whether golf and dinner or just golf.

Cheers
