The Development Office is delighted to invite you the Annual Open Reunion, on Saturday 9th June 2018, from 11am-4pm. The Open Reunion is a fantastic opportunity for you to come back to Withington, catch up with your classmates and former teachers and have a look around your old school. At this year’s event you will also have the chance to tour our brand-new Sports Centre and learn more about the launch of the digital WGS newsletter archive.

Tickets are £10 (£5 for retired former staff and under 25s). The price of your ticket will include the light refreshments provided throughout the day, a buffet lunch and a glass of bubbly.

Book your tickets online or contact the Development Office by emailing development@wgs.org or calling 0161 249 3494.

In 2018, the following year groups will celebrate milestone anniversaries:

Class of 1958: 60 Year Anniversary
Class of 1968: 50 Year Anniversary
Class of 1978: 40 Year Anniversary
Class of 1993: 25 Year Anniversary
Class of 1998: 20 Year Anniversary

If you belong to one of these year groups and would like to organise a special get-together on the day of the Open Reunion, please let us know. We are happy to help you to coordinate your year and reach out to everyone who might wish to return to school to celebrate. We’ve already had interest in special anniversary reunions from the classes of 1968, 1978 and 1998, so the day looks set to have a fantastic atmosphere!
