Rydal Penrhos hosts Penrhos College Class of 1982 One thing that sets Rydal Penrhos apart is the strong connection between Alumni and the school. Being part of the Rydal Penrhos family institutes a life-changing connection, symbolised by lifelong membership of the Rydal Penrhos Society, their alumni association. So the school was delighted to welcome back the Penrhos College Class of 1982 for their 40th-anniversary reunion on Saturday 16th July, which was an emotional occasion and something that further reflected the close bond generated between pupils that stands the test of time. Penrhos College began in 1880 with 12 girls in a couple of three-storied houses ‘with basements’ on Colwyn Bay promenade. In 1895, the school moved into the premises of the short-lived but grand ‘Hydropathic Establishment’ purchased from the Pwllycrochan Estate. The Penrhos College Class of 1982 began their reunion with a welcome glass of fizz and the chance to sample the famous “honey buns” that were served at tea during their time as pupils. They shared a wealth of stories with a fondness that is a testament to how immersed they were as pupils before moving on to the next stage of their respective journeys.
