The August 2026 OW 100 club draw was carried out on Wednesday 26th August 2026 at The Chequers in Binham. This was our annual trip to the North Norfolk coast and this month’s winners were: - Bob Cooke - £ 60.00 – resident of King’s Lynn Helen Mitchell [Little] - £ 60.00 - resident of Aylsham & Andrew Graver - £ 30.00 - resident of Tooting, London
Steve & I were joined by: Sandra Howard; Jerry Linden-Ball; Anne Bradley [Ashworth]; Guy Pettit; Lynne Petit [Semmens]; Simon Turtle, Kevin Emmerson; Norman Faircloth; Chris & Kay Parnham; Steven Turner; Brenda Peck [Wyer]. Both Steve & Brenda were making their debuts at a OW 100 club draw. Brenda was a September 1951 entrant! The Chequers is a super village pub with lots of different areas to congregate in. We ended up in the enclosed pool table area as the attached photos attest. But it was fine & gave everyone a chance to move around to catch up. It is well worth a visit if heading to the North Norfolk area but you want to be a bit inland from the coast. The majority of attendees were from the mid-1960’s - early 1970’s era, so started at Wycol some 60 years ago and there was much regaling of stories of our time at the college [which I’m sure have been embellished over the intervening period!] The draw was kindly carried out by Brenda. The September OW 100 club draw will be held at The Farmhouse in Norwich on Wednesday 23rd September 2026 at 7.30pm. We are due to welcome a very special guest from Canada at this draw. Stella Sparks [now Howchin] is having a rare UK visit & would like to meet up with as many former Wycol pupils as possible. Stella was at Wymondham College between 1966 & 1973 & in Winchester House. During the month we received the sad news of the passing of Tony Moulton. He joined Wymondham College in 1952 and was a very good athlete, rugby player and cricketer.

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
