	100 Club The July OW 100 Club draw was carried out on 20th July at the Roman Camp Inn in Aylmerton twixt Cromer and Sheringham and the winners were: Tony Pyle - resident of Beetley near East Dereham David Howard - resident of Toftwood, East Dereham A cheque in the sum of £55 will be posted to Tony, but David was able to have his cheque presented to him as he was an attendee. We think we had a record number of attendees [23] for an OW 100 club draw! In no specific order, Steve & I were joined by:- Kevin Emmerson; Richard Ross; Julie Harding [Ebbens]; Nick Harding; Jerry Linden Ball; Anne Bradley [Ashworth]; Sandra Howard; Chris Parnham, David & Geraldine Howard, Joanna Voelker [Bassingthwaighte]; John Mewse & partner Anne; Colin Farrington; David Spinks; Andrew Bowcock; Joy Hetherington [Anderton]; Eileen Baron; Maggy Skipp [Smith]; Geoff Lewis & Marcus Ellis. The draw was kindly carried out by Nick Harding. It was a lovely evening with a good mix of former pupils ranging from Eileen & Maggy starting in 1951 & John arriving in 1977. A few photos taken by Steve Read can be seen here - I'll let you decide who is who! The venue for the August OW 100 club draw will be The White Swan at Gressenhall near East Dereham on Wednesday 24th August 2022 - at 7.30pm This is another hostelry that has been bought, refurbished & re-opened by the local community. I do recall visiting in the mid 1970's when it was much less salubrious!! Hope to see some of you there. Take care all. Cheers, Phil Robinson OW 100 club administrator - Philrobinson55@btinternet.com 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 More details can be seen at here:- https://www.wymondhamcollege.org/404/news/post/41/the-chapel-project If any of the above links do not work, please copy and paste into your browser.
