At today's Old Wymondhamians' Committee meeting I proposed that ownership and administration of this web site should pass to the Old Wymondhamians and that the site should cease to be what is, in effect, an independent and unofficial concern. Also, I think the time is right for a younger and perhaps more creative person to to take on the role of editor and carry development forward as the College's on-line archive. It will also allow me to revive and/or begin other projects that I have wanted to pursue for some time now. I shall continue as editor during the period of transition (of up to a year) until a replacement can be found. More details will of course follow, but I'd like to take this early opportunity to thank (1) Steve Grant for his help and support, particularly on the technical side behind the scenes, and (2) the many Contributors who have allowed their photographs and memories to be shared with you all. Bill Atkins |
Past-pupils and ex-members of staff who are interested in taking on the role of webmaster/editor are invited to get in touch. They should ideally have experience of web design (not necessarily as a professional) and be willing to commit an average of 4 hours a week (but that can vary widely week-to-week) to site maintenance, updates and responding to e-mails.

Leo Barnes. "Sadly Leo died from a massive
heart attack while working in his office on 25th September 2008. I last met Leo
some five years ago with Graham Smith and we spent an evening in a local pub
just outside Wickham Market. He was living not far from me and working for
Anglian Water. Leo was divorced and leaves a young daughter." -

"A
very happy 60th birthday to Susanne Milligan, Mary Furbank, Adrian Marfleet,
John Young, Penelope Buck, Andrew Finlayson and Jackie Davis from the rest of
the 60's Bunch'' - Philip Wade
Upcoming reunion event:
In 2009 the 60's Bunch are holding a 60th Birthday Bash at Wensum Valley Hotel http://www.wensumvalleyhotel.co.uk/ over the weekend 11th, 12th and 13th September 2009.
Sarah at the hotel says DB&B is £69 per person per night sharing. Single supplement is £10 per night. The price includes for use of all the leisure facilities. Golf will be £15 per round should you wish to play.
It is always difficult to arrange something that suits everyone, but hopefully by deciding on a particular weekend it will give those overseas the opportunity to come along if they can. If you intend coming along then please do make your own bookings direct with Sarah at the hotel (tel. no. 01603 261012) but do keep me informed so I can in turn keep others informed. Hopefully we will have a good turn-out. If you can only visit for one day and stay for dinner, that's fine.
We have lost touch with one or two so if you can, please spread the word around. We are still trying to trace some past students. Please help if you can.
Everyone who would like to come along, whether you are 60 or not, are very welcome.
Wishing you all a Happy & Prosperous 2009.
