Patrons’ trip to Dresden and Leipzig via Colditz. The Director
reports: from 21 st -26 th May, 20 Wykeham Patrons visited
Saxony, guided by the wonderful Cosima. In Dresden,
flattened by the RAF in February 1945 but now almost
completely restored to its former glory, we visited the New
and Historic Green Vaults, the Frauenkirche, Hofkirche
and the extraordinary porcelain collection at the Zwinger
Palace. In Leipzig, Bach was the subject of our attention,
with the Headmaster showing his expertise as we visited
the Bachhaus and Thomas Kirche, where we listened
to the wonderful choir and a rather lengthy sermon in
German from the lady pastor.
We had another dinner gathering on 18 th October at the
famous Yung Kee restaurant in Central. Given the recent
turmoil in Hong Kong the turnout was modest, but we still
had a lively gathering, with a few spouses present.
Other highlights were an expensive visit to the Meissen
factory, a night at the Semperoper, where we watched an
excellent Swan Lake, and a day trip to Colditz castle, home
to four OW POWs, including Mike Sinclair, who was shot
while trying to escape and won a posthumous DSO.
