Visiting Win Coll - security arrangements
As and when the school fully reopens to visitors,
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 advance of the planned visit, or by Friday
midday for weekends: +44 (0)1962 621227 or porters@
wincoll.ac.uk. They should arrive at the Porters’
Lodge and not enter by any other gate. They will be
asked to produce identification and sign the OW or
Don Soc visitors’ books; they will be issued with a
visitor’s badge and lanyard, to be worn conspicuously
during their visit, please, and returned as they leave
through the same gate. They will also be given a map
showing the areas of the school that may be visited.
Safeguarding and child-protection regulations become
ever tighter and OWs and ex-staff are no longer
allowed to come and go at will.
If you wish to visit a boarding house, please contact
the housemaster well in advance to see if this is
possible and please do not turn up on the doorstep
unannounced.
The Government will not be announcing any plans for
the relaxing of its lockdown rules until after The Trusty
Servant is distributed.

What do you want from future events?
This is an opportunity for us all to reflect on the types
of events that would appeal to a large number of OWs,
young and old.
We will certainly continue with the 60 Years-on Lunch,
OW Guild Dinner and Under 25s Dinner, all of which
are well attended. We also intend to hold the postponed
Edinburgh Dinner when able and we are due to
entertain Collegemen. The end of the series of the 150 th
House Anniversaries, which were very successful, gives
Win Coll Soc some capacity to plan a different range of
events. It would be very useful if you could let us know
what sort of thing appeals- we have an open mind!
