The August Old Wymondhamians 100 Club draw was carried out at the excellent 1960’s reunion organised by Mike Comber and Mike Thorne. It was held at the college on 24th August and the draw was kindly carried out by Adrian Dubock. This month’s winners were:- Esme Wyatt [nee McNulty] - resident of Cumnor, Oxford & Jennie Foster [nee Clarke] - resident of North Wootton, King’s Lynn Apologies for the errors with the addresses given in the July report! Roger Hubbard lives in Sywell, Northamptonshire not Dunholme, Lincolnshire and June Spear now lives in Madison, Florida. John Mewse [OW Chair] kindly conducted a tour of the campus including the chapel, the sports complex, the “park”, Fry Hall [how did we squeeze 8 into the 8 dorm as it looks crowded with 5 beds now!] and the Lincoln Sixth form building.

September Update
We have heard the sad news that Mike Poulton passed away on 9th August. Peter Woodrow has sent in the following tribute: "Mike came to Wymondham College in 1969 to replace Norman Croudace as Head of Mathematics, Norman having moved on to be County Mathematics adviser. He was Head of Mathematics from September 1969 until retirement in July 1996. He was also a 6th form tutor in Lincoln, a keen badminton player, a keen golfer and cricketer. He also organised Chess competitions at the College. Professionally he was also a senior examiner for A Level Statistics and International GCSE. He used to arrange his half day to coincide with the half day of lots of his colleagues - Andy Seeley, David Mills, Melvyn Taylor, Bob Mullenger et .al. so that they could spend Wednesday afternoons on a course - a golf course! He had four children who all passed through the college - Helen, Hazel, Jane and Richard. On retirement he and his wife Margaret travelled widely in England with their caravan and also travelled to the States, Canada and Australia - whenever we bumped into him and his late wife Margaret we always heard news of their latest trip and Margaret’s key phrase was ….’we are spending the kids inheritance’. They certainly enjoyed their retirement until Margaret’s passing in 2011. In retirement Mike was for a time treasurer for Wymondham Heritage Museum, a keen photographer and more recently had been involved with U3A. Mike coped well with his illness and responded well to experimental drug therapy until a few weeks ago when he knew that his days were limited." He can be seen in a photo from Founders Day in 2007 in the accompaniment of Steve Read, Roger and Brenda Garrard. For some reason he was also known as Harry but we're not sure why!
Yes, it's time to start planning for Christmas!!! A note from Philip Wade: ‘Xmas Drinks this year will be from 12noon on Thursday 6th December at the Queen of Iceni pub, Norwich. The pub is by the Riverside, approximately 200m from the Railway Station towards Carrow Road. Everyone welcome'
