The Ladies' College Guild
The Ladies' College Guild Guernsey was founded in 1905 in response to a proposal from Miss Mellish, Principal of the College, that an association of former pupils should be formed.
The Guild has supported the College in many ways since 1905 including contributing to the cost of the changing rooms, a piano, chairs for the hall, Speech Day prizes and the purchase of the playing field(which was handed over to College ownership in 2013. Most recently the Guild donated a large amount towards the A Gift for Learning Phase 3 fundraising project and the Guild Meeting Room is named in honour of this, as well as a classroom named after the Denbigh girls.
The Guild turned 110 years old back in June 2015 and celebrated this milestone at the College on 13th June with a wonderful afternoon tea on the front lawn welcoming back many old girls to view the progress that had been made over the past few years.
The Guild is now free for all of our College leavers to join no matter your age or when you left the College. A simple form is all that is required to be completed, available below. Since 2013, all College leavers are automatically made members of the Guild, unless they choose to opt out. A new electronic database is being developed in conjunction with the College in order to keep in touch with alumnae in a more efficient and up-to-date manner and this will be launched in 2020. Currently Members receive all correspondence regarding Guild news and invitations to events via email (or letter if requested)., You can keep in touch via our Facebook Group page.
