Work on Diamond Jubilee Pavilion is Underway!
Tuesday, 08 May 2012Pupils and staff have been tremendously excited this week as structural work on the Diamond Jubilee Pavilion has now begun. With the main framework now in place, the new sports hub is beginning to take shape, set against the beautiful backdrop of the Sussex Downs countryside. Over the coming weeks, contractors will work on creating the changing rooms, referee and first aid rooms, and a large social space with a café-bar, all of which are much-needed at the site. The warm and welcoming sports hub will transform pupils’ and parents’ experience at the New Ground, and provide facilities that reflect the sporting excellence at the school.

Monday, 16 April 2012Having recently had dinner with a number of Old Brightonians in January, I was lambasted for not letting you know that I was presented with an OBE by the Queen on 30 November 2011. The award was announced in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List on 11 June 2011. Also in attendance on 30 Nov were Brian Ferry and Mark Cavendish and it appears they received more publicity than me!

The OB Pelicans and supporters arrived at East Grinstead on Sunday morning in the driving rain. After a delay to assess the pitches, it was decided that, despite the conditions, the tournament would go ahead.
