The Old Leysian Society
All Old Leysians are automatically members of The Old Leysian Society. There is no subscription. Members receive three newsletters a year, with all OL news, articles and reports, and details of forthcoming events. If you are currently not receiving communications from us, please let us have your updated contact details: Email kor@theleys.net.
The Fortnightly
Members of the OL Society do not automatically receive copies of the new-style Fortnightly, which no longer contains OL news. To receive the Fortnightly in its revised form, the annual cost for three issues, including postage, is £10.00; please send a cheque for £10.00 made payable to The Leys School and marked The Fortnightly on the back of the cheque. Please include your name, House, Years at the School and mailing address. Send it to The Development Office at the School marked The Fortnightly.
We also issue a biennial publication - The Leys School Report, to go to all OLs. We would appreciate any feedback from you; tell us how you would like to see it improved.
Help Us To Find Missing OLs

The Archives
Since the opening of the Clapham Building, which is home to the Classics, Divinity, History and Geography Departments, the School has a dedicated Archives Room, housed next to the History Department. Old Leysians are welcome to consult the Archives. However they would be well advised to contact John Harding in advance (jch@theleys.net). He is happy to receive donations for the Archives at any time. (It is surprising the gaps that exist so please don't assume that the School already possesses copies of anything you are thinking of disposing of.) In addition he is delighted to follow up enquiries from any O.L. researching their family history or simply curious about the past activities of members of their family. From time to time John Harding writes articles for the Old Leysian Newsletter on archive matters, including his recent article on the war-time exploits of Graham Sell, who is commemorated on the School War Memorial. The editors of the Newsletter particularly welcome articles from Old Leysians containing reminiscences of their schooldays or outlining their own research into the School's history. Please send your contributions to John Harding at jch@theleys.net.
