THE OLD WREKINIAN ASSOCIATION
The Old Wrekinian Association (OWA) was formed by a group of 14 former pupils in 1907 and today there are almost 4000 members on the mailing list. The OWA exists to help Old Wrekinians to keep in touch with one another and with the School and to help its members and the School in any way it can. Life Membership will usually have been paid by instalments during the first few years at the School, though a parent may have chosen to opt out.

Together with the Headmaster, OW School Governors, OW Branch representatives and eight elected members of the Committee, all of whom meet at least twice a year. There are six OWA branches: Liverpool & District, London, Manchester, Midlands, Shropshire and Yorkshire and each Branch has its own President and Secretary. The Annual General Meeting usually takes place on the first Saturday in December and is followed by the Annual Dinner.
The Old Wrekinian Record is published twice a year and contains news of members and of the School. Any news items, changes of address, birth, marriages, deaths etc., should be sent to the Editor or the OWA Secretary. The OWA website has now been launched and can be accessed at
