Welcome to the Old Wymondhamians, the official link between past pupils and staff and the College.
Every former student, member of staff or Governor of Wymondham College is considered an Old Wymondhamian.
The Old Wymondhamians Committee works hard to maintain contact with all former pupils and staff and also preserve the history and heritage of the College and its previous life as a USAAF hospital in the Second World War. We organise and coordinate reunions, networking, sporting and other social events.
The ‘OWs’ also help raise much needed funds to support the College and students. Please do take a moment to join the 100 Club, where from just £5pm you will both help with fund raising and also have a chance to win some fabulous monthly prizes too. Many Old Wymondhamians are also increasingly considering giving via regular and/or one-off donations and via a legacy in their will.
If you would like to get back in touch with a friend or find out more about the events we are running, I would encourage you to add your details to the ‘Keep in touch’ page or email us at info@theoldwymondhamians.co.uk. We would love to hear from you!
Best wishes,
John Mewse (77-82) – Chair Old Wymondhamians
How You Can Get Involved
Latest Events
Watch this space for the latest events from the The Old Wymondhamians…….
Heratige Store – update
During the half term break, considerable progress has been made on the construction of the OW’s heritage store at the College. Approximately £15K has been earmarked by your committee to provide a permanent home for OW’s artefacts and records which have moved around the College site in temporary accommodation over the years. Chairman John Mewse has supervised (and been hands on!) the conversion of a container which is sitting on a concrete base, roofed, will be fully clad and insulated with power supplied. Although not quite finished yet but its in a tidy state to be left, with the majority of the work done, the College break up again for Christmas on the 11th December so will have a couple of days then to finish it off.
A message from the College ……..
May you please pass on to you members that Yvonne Florence Bulter 2/6/56 passed away in February 2023. She was at the College between 1966-1972 and her husband Paul Wheeler would love to hear from any of her former/College friends.
If they wish to make contact his details are pcwheeler@hotmail.co.uk
We think …. Just looking through the School Directory that I have for 1971/72 and it is actually Yvonne Butler! She was a boarder in Winchester & in Year 53 in 1971/72.
Subject: Don Fulcher
It is sad news to advise the Don passed away on Wednesday last (16/23 September 2026). Don was at Gloucester House 1963 – 68. A group of us from Gloucester had mini reunions. The last one being when I came over from Australia and we met at The Old Windmill a couple of years ago. Our condolences go to Don’s wife Pam and his children.
Regards
Clive Lancaster
