Old Farnhamians' Association

 

 

Old School Magazines

 

The Farnhamian magazine was published from 1912 until 1973, normally twice per year.

Many boys kept their copies as personal memorabilia and we are now frequently asked if the OFA would like to have these collections for our archives. The answer is normally a polite declining of the kind offer as we have a large stock.

Your webmaster spent hundreds of hours spread over a two year period scanning all the known editions of the school magazine and creating the pdf files to be found elsewhere on this website. This provides a hi-tech solution for those who wish to research or simply browse the old mags.

Cyril Trust, Bill Luff and Tony Gatfield are embarked on the mission of ensuring that Farnham Museum and the Surrey History Centre are fully stocked with all basic historical documentation of FGS and both locations now have fully bound complete copies of the magazines.

We think that we have covered all angles – only completely incompetent historians will be unable to discover the existence of our old school!

However, there may be one area of human activity that we should still try to cater for – the compulsive collector!

Who out there yearns to have his own set of original school magazines?

To meet this possible need, we are offering copies from the remaining stock of magazines to anyone who is interested. Below is a listing of what we have and it will be first come, first served. After a respectable period (measured in months, not years), this offer will be withdrawn and the remaining magazines will be pulped.
