Touring Car Racing at Brands Hatch
Sunday, 05 June 2005It had been some considerable time since the College had heard from one of her most famous sons, former Grand Prix racer Jonathan Palmer (A. 1969-74). In fact, to my recollection the last visit he paid to the school was when I had invited him to talk to the school’s Auto Club back in 1982!
We were therefore particularly delighted when Jonathan contacted our President to invite the Association to enjoy a day’s hospitality at Brands Hatch. We were offered a large suite high above the main startline straight offering a magnificent view of every corner of the circuit.

President's letter Spring 2005 II
Friday, 01 April 2005Dear Old Brightonians,
Not just Old Boys! - Anyone who believed the Old Brightonian Association was just a bunch of old men would be surprised these days. For one thing, we’re not all men – girls have been educated at Brighton College for more than two decades now and I am pleased to see that more and more of them are returning to OB events such as the London Drinks (next one 10 May!). -
OB Annual Dinner 2004
Saturday, 27 November 2004The association’s dinner this year was a select affair. As if consciously to complement last year’s, when 30 years of coeducation was celebrated, an overwhelmingly male party gathered together in the Dining Hall on a cold November night. It was a most convivial evening of good wines, an excellent dinner, and of course one in which nostalgic reminiscences hung in the air like cigar smoke.

Another bar, another OB gathering for the after work set, and yet again a range of ages covering the last four decades of Brighton College leavers.

San Francisco Reunion 2002
Friday, 07 June 2002The 2nd OBA US Dinner was held in the Pacific Room at the Carnelian Room which is in the City's Bank of America building.
Ingram Losner (D. 1973-1978) organised a sensational dinner in an extraordinary setting. The Pacific Room was for those of us not used to eating dinner on the 52nd floor of a skyscraper quite the most wonderful experience! The view alone was worth the trip...

President's letter Summer 2005
Wednesday, 01 June 2005
Dear Old Brightonians,
As Brighton College celebrates its 160th anniversary, in spite of several near misses, it is good to see the place continuing to evolve, experiment, and adapt. I am sure that just as Anthony Seldon will be missed when he leaves us at the end of December, so the newly appointed Headmaster, Richard Cairns, will make his own mark and make his own changes. Sometimes we will approve of those changes, other times not, but he will be aware that to retain the College’s position as a school of excellence, standing still is not an option.

President's letter Spring 2005 I
Tuesday, 01 March 2005Dear Old Brightonians,
This year we celebrate 160 years of Brighton College and it is a delight to see the place in such good shape - consistent successes in sports locally and nationally, (and even internationally!), star performances in Drama, Dance, Public Speaking, Art, Music; the creation of a new charity to help communities affected by the Tsunami disaster in Sri Lanka in addition to the College’s many other charitable involvements, the continued strength of the Cadet Force, the strength of the Chapel, the roll-out of new facilities and new buildings – there has never been a time to be more proud to count ourselves as Old Brightonians.

OBA London Drinks May 2004
Thursday, 13 May 2004I am rarely asked by the manager to leave a public bar before closing time but I am pleased to report that on this occasion I did not disgrace myself! When I reserved a space at one of London’s newest trendy bars I saw no problem with the condition that we should make way for another party at 9:30pm. These informal gatherings usually attract just a few London OBs in search of someone to share a pint with after work and all have usually gone home by 8pm.

Annual Dinner 2001
Saturday, 01 December 2001Those boots should have been the giveaway. In a modest crowd of dinner suits and evening dresses, they were very out of place. Black suede boots with metal-tipped toes - the sort of thing that goes down well in Arizona but somehow seems a bit silly on a dank, November night in Brighton. I'm not sure those with an eye for style would have approved of the rest of the outfit either. Velvet knee-length jacket, white shirt and one of those leather tassel-tie things that doesn't go down well anywhere, really.
