A busy year for Old Hymerians…

BBC Broadcaster for hosting the evening and keeping our alumni so entertained and engaged. We heard from Mr Stanley who was quizzed on his knowledge of the Hull language since arriving from Hereford. You did well, Sir! 180 guests attended and the evening was a huge success with September now a new date for the event.

We continue to hold the bi-monthly lunches at the school. We have seen many new faces join us over time and the regulars always keep us entertained with their stories across the decades. Everyone is welcome and most alumni come alone and pick up where they left off on arrival. Please do join us, we have lunch, drinks, coffee lots of chat and current teachers and students join us to share how Hymers is shaping today. It is always an enjoyable occasion.

March 2022 saw the inaugural ‘Drinks in the City’ with over 80 alumni joining us for drinks at The Sterling at The Gherkin. Again we hosted OHs aged 19-85; we know that this is a date to keep in the events calendar. Thank you to those that joined us and we look forward to seeing more of you all next year.

Familiar faces put up a strong defence as Old Hymerians Golf Day celebrates its centenary...

Hull Golf Club welcomed 31 Old Hymerians on 6 July 2022 for the annual summer fixture when five trophies were up for grabs. This year marked 100 years since the inception of the event when the Chambers Cup was the only silverware on offer.

On a gusty evening on the immaculate Kirk Ella layout, the flags were tricky and the greens were running fast and true – no wonder that no-one played under par!

There was a touch of déjà vu from the 2021 event, as three of the five trophies were successfully defended and were presented after Hull Golf Club’s legendary fish and chips by OH President Emily Pennack.
