 Dear Old Brightonians,
I hope you are enjoying the summer (if that is the season where you happen to be). I hope also that you are enjoying the new look website, and I am very grateful to Alex Bremer (R. 1979-83) for his efforts in bringing it into the 21st century. The OBA has recently hosted two events, a Vice Presidents’ Lunch at the Carlton club and the celebration of the entry of the latest cohort of College leavers into the Association, which coincided with the College graduation. For younger OBs we are arranging an informal reunion at the College for those who attended the school under Anthony Seldon, who was the Headmaster from 1997 to 2006. Details and/or reports of all these events can be found elsewhere on the site.

 Brighton College Home Ground
As you are aware Peter (H. 1937-39) passed away in 2007 and many an OB has expressed the thought that it would be fitting to introduce an annual memorial rugby match to celebrate the life and achievements of Peter. Peter's wife Mary is highly supportive of this and so 2008 will see the start of this annual event.

 I am sure you are justly proud of your old school, as we are of you. If you have not been back in a while, please consider coming in and seeing all that is familiar - and new - about the place.
This profile from The Daily Telegraph may provide further temptation. Should you be considering where to send your children (or grand-children) for their education, you may like to register for the forthcoming Open Mornings later this year.
