The first event of its kind to be hosted at the College, the Head Master warmly welcomed back the 'legends' of their day. It was a delightful evening, with Ian Dowding (Chichester 1948-54) travelling from as far away as Barbados to join us. Every generation had a different tale to tell about the College in their time, but what they all had in common was the wonderful, lifelong friendships that they had made whilst at the College, the various talents inspired by their time here, and of their pride in what the College is currently achieving.
The Heads of School were asked to be Ambassadors for the Old Brightonians within their year groups, and to support the College's vision of the future, a message enthusiastically received, and we look forward to growing the Old Brightonians network with the support of our Heads of the College.
