| Friends of Tanglin A History of Friends of Tanglin |
In 2005 –eighty years after Miss Griff opened Tanglin School – Friends of Tanglin was established. It is a web-based alumni association open to all former students, staff, governors and PTA presidents who were part of the schools under the Tanglin Trust banner (including Tanglin, Weyhill, Raeburn, Winchester and Wessex). |
|
One of the aims of Friends of Tanglin is to promote communication within our alumni community and to create a network of members, with the aim of bringing together the thousands of people who have been an integral part of our school since 1925. |
The first Honorary Presidents of Friends of Tanglin are formally Chairs of the School’s Board of Governors, John Curran OBE and Sandra Berrick. Together, they share over 35 years of Tanglin knowledge and experience. |
 |
The first official member in Friends of Tanglin is Rosie Montefiore (nee Wilson), whose father, Dr Charles Wilson, was in one of the first cohorts of Tanglin students in 1925. Mrs Montefiore and her brothers (John, Patrick and Alan) were students of the School in the 1950s and 1960s. When her son Robert became a Tanglin student in the 1980s, it was the first time that children from three generations of one family attended the School. |
 |
Since this alumni service was launched early in 2005, the response has been very positive. Membership numbers are expanding and the current membership profile reflects the history of Tanglin with members being of a wide range of ages. |
 |
Our Friends of Tanglin logo has been developed to reflect Tanglin’s approach of balancing tradition with innovation and the establishment of the service is in itself an important milestone in the School’s history. |
