100 Club

Another month on and yet another draw carried out without the benefit of visiting a Norfolk hostelry! But, this time, we were able to, at least, “gather” and a few of us met on the afternoon of Wednesday 24th June at the Lynford Stag picnic area, which is part of Thetford Forest close to Mundford. This was the June STAR draw. Steve and I were joined by Chris Parnham, Liz Bishop [Sasada] and Bev Sennett [Millard] and husband Richard. Thus we were able to comply with the “6 person” meeting requirement as well as managing to maintain the 2m social distancing ruling [as the attached photos attest!].

This month’s winners were:-

£ 500.00 - Eileen Baron [Miss Fox] – resident of Cromer

£ 200.00 - Josephine Tibbenham [nee Steggles] – resident of Weybread, near Diss

£ 75.00 - Evi Walker [nee Hutchcraft] - resident of Abingdon

We were able to find some shade and enjoyed a couple of hours catching up on the trials and tribulations of the past few months. Chris Parnham kindly carried out the draw for us. All being well, the July 100 Club draw will be our traditional trip to the North Norfolk coast and we will meet on Wednesday 22nd July 2020 at The Kings Arms, Blakeney at 7.30 pm. https://www.kingsarmsblakeney.co.uk/

Stay safe everyone and hope to see some of you at the July draw – apps at the ready………

Cheers,

P.S.   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.

P.P.S 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.

I suspect that we might all be gated for some while yet. The headmaster has spoken, and the housemasters are starting to get cross. Tuck shop is shut, or at least has no more sweets. The milkman has plenty of stock apparently, but not visiting anymore – and the sick bay is not taking any customers unless approved by matron. Kinda reminds me of the meningitis epidemic when I were a lad at school!!  KEEP SAFE
