Never one to miss out on a free meal, it was with great enthusiasm that I responded in the affirmative to the Head Master’s invitation to dinner on Friday 27th August, and with considerable bounce in my step that I boarded a train out of Clapham Junction towards the mighty City of Brighton and on to the hillside Principality of Kemp Town.

Old Brightonian Rugby Club will be playing Old Reigatians at 12.30pm, before the 1st XV kick-off at 2.30pm in their first match of the new season against Reigate Grammar School.
Peter Rumney (H. 1937-39) was a lifelong supporter of the school but he is best remembered for his involvement in Sussex rugby and, more especially, Old Brightonian rugby. He was the driving force behind the re-forming of the Old Brightonian Rugby Club in 1959 after it had ceased to exist during the Second World War. His widow, Mary, and her family will be joining us as our special guests.

"I visited my Dad in Christchurch New Zealand this last Christmas and ran into an OB in Akaroa, NZ. I didn't write his name down and haven't a clue how to get in touch with him. Are there any Old brighonians out there that might be able to help me contact him?
What happened was that I asked a guy walking by our ground floor suite to take a picture of a couple of friends and myself. The OB in the pic was the guy! It wasn't until we happened to cross paths again later in the day at a British monument on a hill that my friend said, "Dude, that guy's from Brighton!" We took the pic and I forgot his name!
Thanks in anticipation..."

It is with a certain amount of nervous pride that the Association brings news of a new film written by OB Robin Hill (H. 1987-89).
"Down Terrace" is the story of a small crime family marking their decline with one final, violent blow out. Nominated for Raindance’s Best British Film award and already confirmed for Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, Down Terrace reboots the genre with a brilliantly bizarre blend of kitchen sink realism, broad swathes of black comedy and a body count befitting a slasher flick.
