The December OW 100 Club STAR draw was carried out on Wednesday 18th December 2024 at The Cock in East Dereham and this month's winners were: Nick Robinson - resident of Leconfield, Beverley - £500 The more observant of you might see that Nick has won two months in a row. Just to alloy fears that our draw machine is 'broken', Nick has two numbers and this month's winning number was different to last month's! Plus, Nick has decided to donate this month's winnings back to the OW's for distribution to deserving Wymondham College related causes. Thanks Nick. Vic Laird - resident of Tonbridge, Kent - £250 & Nick Harding - resident of Great Linford, Buckinghamshire - £100 Steve and I were joined by David and Geraldine Howard, Sandra Howard, Liz (Sasada) and Neil Bishop, Chris Parnham, Leon Andrew, Beverly Sennett (Millard) and husband Richard. Leon kindly carried out the draw for us. The January OW 100 Club draw will be held at The Flintknappers in Brandon on Wednesday 29th January at 7.30pm It will be the first time that we have held the OW 100 Club draw in Brandon. I think that is mainly because it is actually in Suffolk - but only by about 300 yards! (thus breaking our self imposed 'only in Norfolk' criteria for the second or third time in 20+ years!) Wishing everyone a happy, peaceful and healthy New Year. Perhaps a New Year's resolution for those non-members would be to join the OW 100 Club! Take care all.

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.
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

January Update
Sad News
We have just been informed of the passing of John Savage. We have no other details at present. John appears in the photos of South House in 1961 and a few “break” photos on WCRemembered, so we presume that he must have been at Wycol in the early to mid 1960’s.
Don't forget to visit our new website:https://www.theoldwymondhamians.co.uk
