The Old Chigwellians' Club (OCC) has a long history. Founded in 1924, we are of course representing the Alumni of Chigwell School Essex.
In 1980 we built our own Clubhouse and grounds in Roding Lane, Chigwell (see map on the Contact Us page). We have currently 3 football teams (once 7!) - the 1st, 2nd and Vets. The 1st and 2nds are in the Arthurian League and have both won many trophies. The Vets are in the Vets Essex League and have a strong squad of 30 or so players and again have enjoyed many successes.
We also have Golf and Tennis sections (the Golf playing at Chigwell Golf Club) and a Lodge.
The Club has been in a bit of a transition lately but is now going through a revival, hence, among other things, this website. Here we can give news of upcoming events and details of our sporting results, fixtures and reports. The social culture has changed so much, we need to adapt. For example for younger members the need for social and business contact networks remains and we are developing this but with family and career pressures there is and will be much less volunteering capacity and social needs.
The Club does have various social functions still including Shrove Tuesday traditional dinner at the School, the Football Club Supper, the Wednesday Lunch Club among them.
We of course maintain a very strong liaison relationship with the School.
We hope you enjoy this website and if you have any enquiries we encourage you to contact us on hello@oldchigwellians.co.uk.

Chigwell School boasts an ever expanding Alumni, scattered worldwide, keeping Old Chigwellians’ (OCs) in touch with one another to support the School as a united network. The School and all Old Chigwellians' are represented by the Old Chigwellian's Association (OCA) who work in partnership to organise social, cultural and sporting events throughout the year. The OCs have an established sporting section made up of Football, Golf and Tennis. OC Football has a strong reputation and a record of success as both League Champions and Arthur Dunn Cup Winners. The OC Clubhouse in Roding Lane, Chigwell provides a social gathering meeting place for the sporting sections, as well as a venue for the popular monthly ‘Wednesday Club’ lunches.
The OC Alumni are integral to supporting the School with career talks, professional days and sharing of expertise and time, particularly as part of the popular ‘Meet the Future’ sessions held at the School.

OCs are kept informed of the School's development plans and OC news via the various social media communication channels, as well as receiving a copy of 'The Mitre’ magazine, which is posted out to OCs registered on the database annually.

Former OC President, Aegean Simpson - a former pupil of the School and ambassador of Old Chigwellians, encourages OCs of all ages to further build their involvement with the School and their network, by getting actively involved with the OC Committee to facilitate professional opportunities and drive a lasting network of connections. “We are driving the OC agenda through a number of new initiatives to ensure we keep the Old Chigwellian network vibrant and meaningful for generations to come”.
Nine lunches are held at the OC Clubhouse on the first Wednesday of the month and these have been running now for over 50 years: attendance sees an average of nearly 40 OCs. Two of the other three lunches are invitations from the Headmaster and held at the School. The final event is the Away Day which is always held at a restaurant deep in the heart of the Essex countryside.
All OCs, of any age plus their partners, are very welcome.
This vibrant and active Masonic Lodge has been associated with the School for over 70 years and holds four formal meetings each year plus several working groups. One of the Foundations of Masonry is Charitable giving and thus the Lodge supports the local community via a homeless hostel and Sheltered Housing. Financial support also extends to larger projects such as specialist equipment for Great Ormond Street Hospital and the London Fire Brigade who received two high rise turntable ladders capable of delivering high volumes of water to above 132 feet and making life saving rescues possible. OCs and members of their families would be welcome to swell their numbers.
