Melbourn Village College at 50 Celebrations of the College’s 50th anniversary are already well underway. September saw the giant tea party held on the Willow Lawn; estimates place the number of ex-pupils and ex-staff attending at over 1,000 visitors. The class of 1959, the College’s first ever cohort of students, seemed particularly well represented. The afternoon seemed to fly by in a swirl of reminiscences and anecdotes, accompanied by industrial quantities of tea and scones, to a soundtrack provided by the College’s own ‘Big Band’ who played some popular classics from the past five decades. The sun shone, two former wardens were in attendance and a thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all. Many thanks to the very many people who worked tirelessly to ensure that the event was such a success. Andrew Allsworth Deputy Warden.
