Please come to Winchester Match on
15 th June
This is the main opportunity for
OWs of all ages, past parents, former
dons and members of staff to visit the
school and to be royally welcomed,
fed and watered, with a heavily-
subsidised lunch in the Win Coll
Soc marquee next to Hunter Tent.
At 12 noon, the Headmaster will
welcome guests with an update on the
Kingsgate Park Project and the launch
of the fundraising campaign for the
new Sports Centre.
If you have not already registered
for lunch, you will find an invitation
together with a reply form enclosed
with this issue, giving full details about
the day; alternatively, please register
and pay on the Win Coll Soc website:
www.wincollsoc.org.
Keeping connected:
Personal Information Forms…
We recently sent out a personal
information form to all OWs
requesting that you update your
details and asking if you might be able
to help the Careers Department. We
have had an excellent response, with
over 2600 OWs having responded
so far; over 1000 of you have kindly
offered to help with careers advice.
Thank you so much for keeping us
in the loop: it helps ensure we invite
you to the right events and keep you
informed about the things in which
you are interested.
If you have not already completed the
form, please either return it by post or
visit our website and fill in your details
there. Follow the quick link on our
homepage.

…LinkedIn
We would be grateful if all those
OWs who use LinkedIn could make
sure that you have joined the Old
Wykehamist Network, currently
containing 1,345 members; and please
could you also join a relevant OW
Guild subgroup. OWs update their
profiles rather more readily than
informing this office and LinkedIn is
a useful way for me to find OWs to
help with providing careers advice for
current boys, among other things.
Goddard Legacy Society
In an effort to maximise the capital
available to finance bursaries, we
remain keen to increase the number
of legacies kindly pledged to the
school in OW wills. The school
shows its appreciation by offering
free membership of the Goddard
Legacy Society, which currently has
about 255 members. The Society
has a well attended annual lunch
in Winchester in September each
year, following a service in Chapel,
and we have recently introduced a
reception in London about every two
years. It is also hoped that the current
membership will encourage others to
join. Please contact Patrick Walker (I,
65-70) if you would like to discuss this
further [email protected] or 01962
621216.
Visiting Win Coll - security
arrangements
OWs and Don Soc members are most
welcome, but we have been asked by
the Security Committee to remind
those who wish to visit the school
(other than for an event, when the
instructions issued may be different,
or when visiting as a spectator at
matches) that they must contact the
Porters’ Lodge to check whether
the school is open for visitors. This
should be done at least 24 hours in
