replies: text: SIAD has not become a University yet. The merged institution is currently a University College and has not yet received the status of a university - their website is hoping for 2007. Timrollpickering 10:48, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Andrew Hudson, stop spreading lies there is no carnival i wish there was. BUT THERE IS NOT! Are you even from Farnham? Or are you from Bournemouth and and you got confused.
BTW are you the same Andrew Hudson of cricketing fame?
There is a carnival in Farnham, though it is extremely small. It consists of about 5 small floats and a few people "marching"
Oh, and by the way there IS a farnham carnival - it's much more than 5 floats (more like 50) and should be mentioned on this page. - John Pickering
John, bit stupid, everybody knows that you've been vandalising the site, or someone has been using your ip address to edit this Wiki. Think about it.
No their are two annual Carnivals in Farnham, Hale Carnival, the smaller one consisting of about 10-20 floats and then the bigger Farnham Carnival, consisting of more than 50 floats, more like 90, 100. - 86.16.131.136 (talk) 15:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there a word for natives and inhabitants of Farnham?  Farnhamians?  Farnhamites?  Just curious! Lewis · talk · contribs 17:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, almost solely relating to certain big cities in Britain will you find such names - it is best to describe people as Farnham residents or workers since many people in Britain do not work in the same town.Adam37 (talk) 09:04, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I have suggested on the South Farnham School article that it should be merged to here. Generally primary schools are not considered notable and are usually merged to the locale article. Atlas-maker (talk) 08:15, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be a shame to delete the South Farnham School article (which is what the result of a "merge" would be), but can think of little reason within Wikipedia policy not to do so.  With regard to notability, the school has consistently been one of the top primary schools in the country, and the headmaster, Andrew Carter, was recently knighted for his work with the school (Stephen Sutton, Daniel Day-Lewis and Angelina Jolie on Birthday Honours list), but I doubt that it is enough to save it.
