OVERVIEW :

         Formed in 1932, the Old Ilminsterians Association continues to meet annually, opportuning the company of other Old Boys and acknowledging the entity which contributed so much to their formative years - Ilminster Grammar School !

         To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Association, and the four hundred and thirty year connection of the School with the Minster, the Association funded the design and fitting of a Stained Glass Window in St.Mary's Church in 2007.

Each to take place in the middle of the day (Service and Lunch - June, and AGM and Lunch - October). At the 2020 Committee Meeting it was decided that with regard to the on going Covid situation; there was no purpose in having an AGM going forward and that the existing President should continue in post until the situation had eased.
