Head Master's Dinner for the OBA CommitteeNever 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.

If you feel you fit this description, and are free to turn out in indecently short shorts in public, then please contact either John Aiken on 07715 580990 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

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.

Andrew "Tigger" Gray (BCJS. 1968-72, B.1972-75)"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..."

Robin Hill (right, H. 1987-89) in his new film, "Down Terrace"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.
