So where exactly did you throw your hat when you left DWS? We posted this question on social media'. I'm not sure how long the tradition had been in place and the closure of the railway line meant that the river (rather than Bala Lake) became the final resting place for our best hats. 'Old Girls' responded thus: 'All hats went in the river', 'My green Sunday hat was lobbed ceremoniously into the river on the way back from the last chapel of term from the bridge', 'In the river of course' 'Grey hat in Bala Lake from the steam train!', 'In the river - green hat', 'My grey hat was spun from the centre of the bridge into the river Wnion on the last day of term' 'My grey hat was thrown ceremoniously from the Lady Bridge on the last walk back from church.I wonder where all the hats ended up?'
