Networking (Toby Allen), Sports (John
Goodeve-Docker) Social (Michael Power) and
Overseas (Julia Morgan). These bracketed
members form the E and F committee, chaired
by Charles Baker, which meets quarterly.
A huge amount of work is currently being
undertaken by these committees as the ow
Society links more closely with College and
its own tributaries of Development and
Parents association.
A revamped ow website will be in
operation in 2012 and software has been
purchased jointly with College which will
allow ows to much more easily keep in touch
with each other and with ow activities and
events. ow office communication with ows
will increasingly be by e-mail and electronic
newsletter to save the spiralling expense of
mailing, but of course the Year Book, though it
can be download from the ow website www.
owsociety.com, will continue to be posted.
Details of ow events through the year are
posted on the website.
Please now send the office an e-mail to
owsoc@wellingtoncollege.org.uk to update
or confirm your current e-mail address.
here are three main ow
Society charitable tributaries, the J.L. Bevir Memorial
Trust, the Herbert Old
Wellingtonian Trust and
the flagship trust, the Old Wellingtonian
Society Charitable Trust. The ow Society
believes that this Trust is uniquely positioned to augment Wellington’s charitable
activities by providing support to ows as
part of the broader Wellington community
in a way which can benefit College both directly and indirectly.
The Society has therefore determined to
expand significantly the activity of the ow
Society Charitable Trust by using catalyst
funds of £100,000 from the Society reserves,
by re-allocating income and expenditure
between the Society and College and by
actively seeking donations from ows as part
of the ‘Campaign for Wellington’ led by Sir
Mike Rake ,Vice President.
The initial objectives of the Charitable
Trust are:
1. To provide Bursaries for the
children of ows
2. To help young ows undertake
charitable projects
T
3. To offer support to ows in distressed
circumstances and others who are deserving
of charitable help.
4. To support current Wellingtonians with
prizes for academic, artistic, cultural or
sporting achievement
