	100 Club The December OW 100 Club STAR draw was carried out at Darby’s at Swanton Morley and the winners were:- Esme Wyatt [McNulty] - £500.00 - resident of Cumnor, Oxford William Trevethick - £200.00 – resident of Shipton-on-Stour David Burdett - £75.00 – resident of Hickling. This month we were joined by David and Sue Spinks, Brian Ellis, Sandra Howard and John Head. Sue, David and John carried out the draw for us. Darby’s was pretty busy as it was Quiz Night but we ensconced ourselves in a side room where we could chat without disturbing the local Masterminds! The beers on offer were mostly local brews with the normal Adnams and Woodfordes fare but there were a couple from the Beeston Brewery, which has some interesting named ales! Most of us dined and all agreed that the food was very good at a reasonable price. A score of 8.5 was given – a half point being deducted due to the lack of steak and mushroom suet pudding [that I had been really looking forward to] not being on the menu anymore! The January draw will be held at The Cherry Tree in East Dereham on Wednesday 21st January 2015 at 8.00 pm Hope to see some of you there. Steve and I wish you all a Happy New Year and thank you for your continued support of the Old Wymondhamians 100 Club during the year Best Regards, Phil Robinson OW 100 Club Administrator - Philrobinson55@btinternet.com

	Students gathered on Remembrance Sunday to see a new memorial garden unveiled. Sadly the old memorial behind the pond had deteriorated badly over the years and a project was launched for students to come up with a design for a new one. It has also been moved to a larger, more prominent area on the grass by Peel Hall, and will act as a daily reminder of the history of the College site. As happens every year, poppy wreaths were laid by the Principal, representatives from the US Air Force at Lakenheath and Mildenhall, RAF Marham, the Governors, Old Wymondhamians and the College Combined Cadet Force.
