Welcome to the Old Maidstonian Society

The Old Maidstonian Society was founded in 1884 and currently has over 750 members. The main function of the Society is bring past pupils into contact with each other and to maintain that contact.

If you are an Old Maidstonian and are not a member of the Society, then please contact oms@oldmaidstonians.org.uk by e-mail and you will will receive all future copies of the Society Newsletter free of charge. There is no subscription fee to join the Society. We would appreciate it if you would please include a telephone contact number in order that we can more easily put members in contact with each other. However, your contact details will remain confidential unless you give permission for them to be released. If you wish to contact old friends then we can supply a list of names of all those who left the school in the same year.
