	100 Club The November OW 100 Club draw was carried out on Wednesday 25th November by phone with our treasurer, Steve Read. This month’s winners were:- Mike Comber - resident of Bridford near Exeter & Bob Rowell - resident of Matlock Cheques in the sum of £ 55.00 will be despatched shortly. We have set the date for the STAR draw as Wednesday 16th December 2020. It seems highly probable that this will have to be carried out by phone again given that Norfolk will be in Tier 2 until at least 15th December. Disappointed of Fair Green! Stay safe everyone. Cheers, Phil Robinson OW 100 club administrator - Philrobinson55@btinternet.com 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. https://donatemyschool.com/project/page/wymondhamcollege?page=1&per-page=10 More details can be seen at here:- https://www.wymondhamcollege.org/404/news/post/41/the-chapel-project If any of the above links do not work, please copy and paste into your browser.

OW Golf Day and Reunion 2021 A note from Bob: "Following the cancellation of this year's Golf Day and Reunion, my hotel contacts have been very understanding and helpful and I have provisionally rebooked for the first weekend in July next year. 2021 is the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the College and we hope there will be some event at the College to which we are invited. My hotel contact is aware of this and when we have confirmation of a date it will hopefully enable us to rearrange the date of our Golf Day and Reunion if necessary. You will recall it was the 50th Anniversary in 2001 when we had our first Golf Day and Reunion. Best Wishes - keep safe, Bob" For previous updates please click here.
