From the Director
When drafting this column for our last edition , I bade a fond farewell to Lorna Stoddart as Director of Development and in doing so speculated whether her replacement might be delivered before the completed Trusty Servant . This was not to be but I am now delighted to welcome Melanie Bushell , who joined Win Coll after Leave-out in February as our new Director of Development . She has had an extremely busy two months , during which many of you have already met her . Melanie joins us from The Portsmouth Grammar School where she spent a decade as their Development Director . Please join me in welcoming her and I hope you will meet her at one of the many events coming up in the next year .

Goddard Legacy Society The reception at the Garrick Club will have taken place while this edition is in print but Goddard Day will return to Winchester on Saturday 16 September . In a move to increase the number of younger Goddard members , we hope to fill a table at Goddard Day with OWs who left after 1980 . Whether you qualify for that ambition , or not , if you would like to join the Society or are interested in attending the lunch on Goddard Day to find out more , please contact the Director ajcn @ wincoll . ac . uk or Patrick Walker pncw @ wincoll . ac . uk .
Website and Wykeham Links As many of you have discovered , we have adopted a new-look website .
Whether you are an OW sportsman , a current parent or a member of Win Coll Soc through another channel , you will find information about events , news , publications , Societies , photo galleries and more , in a much more digestible fashion .
Helpful hint : When you sign up to the website for the first time , you will need to go through a brief approval process . The login you had before September 2023 will not be recognised , so if you receive a message that your email is not recognised , it is most likely that you have not yet signed up .
Wykeham Links At about the time you receive this edition , we will be launching Wykeham Links , the Careers and Mentoring platform for Old Wykehamists and senior pupils .
In good Wykehamical fashion , those rather clumsy terms , Mentor and Mentee , have been replaced by Tégé ( shortened to TJ ) and Protégé .
