Sgt Major Chris O’Connell
Friday, 07 January 2011Although not a member of the Common Room as such, Chris O’Connell became in his thirty year career at the College a truly legendary figure and, as one previous Headmaster has said, ‘simply the best Housemaster that convention prevented me from appointing’.

President's letter Nov. 2010
Thursday, 18 November 2010It hardly seems three years since David Gold asked me to put myself forward as your President and that my tenure is almost at its end. During this time I have much enjoyed re-connecting with OBs whom I first knew at the college and those many others from both before and after my time on the College staff. I have had much pleasure in presiding over and representing you at various functions and reunions, here at the college or away in London and New York, as well as being generally associated with the college at a time of growth and continuing pre-eminence.

Old photo recently found by Malcolm Faber (S 1975-80)
Tuesday, 13 July 2010
This photo was recently found in the Faber archives! This is the CCF at RAF Waddington (home to the Vulcan bombers) in 1978 for a weeks camp! It may well be of interest to some. My memory is somewhat hazy, but as far as I can remember (please fill in the gaps), names as follows:
Top: Tony Whitestone, Chris Browne, ?, ?, Guy Cordery, Mr Allen
Middle: Kevin Roddy, Chris Bean, Richard Bacon,?,?, Steve Squibb
Bottom: ?, Simon Kaner, ?Eaton?, Malcolm Faber, Richard Nye
I remember it being extremely cold in the wilds of Lincolnshire, freezing on night exercises. There was some Girls Venture Corps up there at the same time who provided some light entertainment – one of them fainted with the cold at morning parade! -
Vice Presidents Luncheon 2010
Thursday, 25 February 2010The fifth annual Vice Presidents’ lunch saw us return to the Army and Navy Club, and once again we are very grateful to Peter Miller (C. 1945-49 ) for hosting the occasion and allowing us to enjoy the fine catering and premises of the club.

Annual Dinner 2010 - report
Saturday, 27 November 2010I arrived at my last annual dinner ‘in charge’ on an extremely cold evening thankful that, at least, we had no snow. After a short panic attack about missing table decorations, which turned up elsewhere in the school, I joined a packed Café de Paris for pre-dinner drinks before we repaired to a slightly chilly Dining Hall for dinner.

Head Master's Dinner for the OBA Committee
Friday, 27 August 2010Never 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.

President's letter June 2010
Monday, 28 June 2010As the end of another summer term at the College approaches and a new cohort of leavers is about to join the ranks of the Association, I thought it appropriate to write to you, wishing you and your families well, wherever you may be.
I attended the recent Speech Day in the Dome in Brighton, which is now the regular venue for this prestigious event, the original School Hall being too small to accommodate the ever burgeoning numbers at the College. It is evident that the school is in very fine fettle and achieving excellence on all fronts.

OBA London Drinks, Jan 2010
Tuesday, 19 January 2010It’s been a while since our last London Drinks – almost 2 years, in fact. For these first Drinks of 2010 we had returned to a favourite old haunt of the Association’s London members; The International Bar on St. Martin’s Lane. Unfortunately it appears that it may also be our last time here; the place is to close within a month – a piece of information made privy to Jack Bremer (BCJS 1990-94) before some of the bar staff (much to his and one unfortunate girl’s great embarrassment / shock).
