Old Witleians' Association Annual Reunion
Saturday 9 October 2004
The 2004 OW Annual Reunion was held on Saturday 9 October and proved to be good fun and a great success. Over 60 Old Witleians with their friends and family members arrived at the school to take part in the day, and consequently over 100 sat down to lunch with present pupils in the School Dining Hall.
Pupils gave guided tours and they always enjoy hearing about the KES of old and bringing past pupils up to date with what is happening in the School today. The Vivartis Art Exhibition is a popular attraction with Old Witleians, especially the many sculptures around the grounds.
A very successful 25th Anniversary Golf Society Reunion was held in June. This was a most enjoyable day with those taking part raising £3,200. A cheque was presented by Brian Bicknell to the Headmaster during the OW Reunion, and the Headmaster expressed his gratitude for this considerable sum. The donation has been added to the Old Witleians' Scholarship Fund for Bursaries.
Many letters and emails expressing appreciation for the Reunion have been received, and if anyone has suggestions and ideas for next year, please relay them to Old Witleians @ King Edward's
