100 Club

At last we were able to frequent a hostelry and The Kings Arms in Blakeney was our chosen venue on Wed 22nd July.  Steve and I were joined by Guy and Lynne [Semmens] Pettit, Simon Turtle, Jennie Foster [Clarke] and Sandra Howard, so we almost managed to comply with the “6 person” meeting requirement! More of the usual banter and reminiscences of long ago antics from our time at Wycol ensued. This month’s winners were:-

Colin Leaford - resident of Worcester Park, Surrey

&

David Mills - resident of Highams Park, London

Cheques in the sum of £55.00 each are in the post.    

Until relatively recently Steve and I had avoided visiting each other’s local venue. This was partially righted when we frequented one of Steve’s two locals [The Crown – Pulham Market] in May 2018. To balance this out, the next draw will be held at my local – 50 yards from my home! Thus, all being well, the August 100 Club draw will be carried out at The Gate in Fair Green, Middleton, King’s Lynn on Wednesday 26th August 2020 at 7.30 pm.

Stay safe everyone and I hope to see some of you at the August draw – for the first time ever I won’t have to drive or be driven!  

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.

 WyCol Analogy from one of our number. Written before they closed the pubs!

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
