Welcome to the web site of
the Old Farnhamians'
Association,
an organisation that united the former pupils and staff of
_____________________________________________
During
the period 1585 to 1973,
If you are a former
pupil of
This site continues
to connect old school friends who may
have lost contact. Activities organised by the association have
now ceased, but ad hoc get togethers will take place and old boys are invited
to send the webmaster information to be announced to assist in arranging such
activities at info@farnhamians.org
There
is a section on this site containing news of old boys that has been contributed
by the old boys themselves and others. This information is to be found in the
Web-Members Section, which can be accessed, without charge, by registering and
obtaining a password (click the Members' Section
). You will be asked to
state your name, indicating the years you attended the school, and giving your
e-mail address (please be precise with this). The password will be e-mailed to
you shortly thereafter. Your details will be retained for updating you on how
to access the section should we change the password in the future. (This
procedure is to minimise the risk of old boys receiving unsolicited
communications by having personal details visible in the public section of the
site.)
During
2003. we established an on-line library of The Farnhamian magazines,
published between 1912 and 1973, plus the OFA newsletters that were distributed
thereafter until 1993. The library is split into a Public Section (magazines
more than 70 years old) and an OFA Members’ Library. These files are well worth
reading. Most of them display the magazines as true images of the original
printed versions, but with the great advantage that you can search the
magazines for names etc. Click here to find out how to access this
part of the website.
Please
contribute to this site and The Farnhamian by e-mailing news of yourself and
other old boys. Contact e-mail addresses are shown in the Web-Members Section.
Please indicate if you are willing for your e-mail address to be quoted in the
Web-Members Section so that people can get in touch with you.
