You will have noticed that the Website has changed dramatically. The Committee decided that an Upgrade and Modernisation of the Website should take place because:

The Secretary has confirmed that the date of the 18th of September 2021 is booked at Wembdon Village Hall for next year’s Reunion Annual Dinner.
Perhaps inevitably the number of Members and of those attending the Annual Reunion Dinners have declined over the years and this has led to recruitment efforts by the Committee including circulation of an ‘SOS’ (click here to see the publication). The efforts with the SOS publicity campaign have resulted in a large number of responses but so far only a moderate number of new members
The Committee feel that we are duty bound to have an Annual Reunion Dinner to celebrate, in 2023, the 300th anniversary of the founding of the School in 1723. However, depending on the up-take for 2021, the prospects for an Annual Dinner in 2022 remains in the balance.
The Chairman (Bill King) and Secretary (Roger Richards) have held regular meetings with the senior staff members of the Quantock Education Trust that now includes Haygrove School and some Primary Schools.
Just before the Lockdown was announced by the Government (23.03.20) Bill and Roger met the Head Teacher and a July 2020 date was agreed for Old Morganians’ Members to be offered the opportunity to have one last look at the ‘Old Buildings’. However, that will not take place now, due to the Pandemic and the consequent closure of the School.
A date for the demolition of the buildings is still undecided partly due to uncertainty on the date for completion of the new buildings and the time for transfer from the old to the new buildings.
The latest news is that demolition is unlikely to commence until, at the earliest, August or September of 2020 and at the latest at the end of the Autumn School Term.
If possible, an opportunity to view the Old Buildings will be arranged. If this turns out not to be feasible the Committee are considering arranging for photographs to be taken of all the original buildings.
The Committee have already begun to consider options on how best to celebrate this momentous year but would be delighted to receive suggestions from Members on what they think they would like to see for the celebration (contact details for Committee Members are included on the Contact page).
