Particular thanks should go to John Flood (S. 1950-1954) who brought in whole school photographs which were very much enjoyed by all. Thanks should also go to Neville Abraham (B. 1950-1955) who generously hosted the event in the restaurant, and bought a round of drinks for our Old Brightonians upon their arrival. He spoke most eloquently about how the College continues to go from strength to strength not only in size and number but also in the good grades achieved. The time spent over lunch with old friends was truly enjoyed by all, mobile phone numbers swapped and many promises made to reunite again.
"As to a message for the Pioneers Club London Luncheon, all warm good wishes to the lunch party, and great regrets to miss such a generous occasion - it's getting late in the day to have to miss such an occasion, so I hope the Iraq Inquiry can finish in time for any repeat event; and a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all of us, in such a wonderful year for Brighton College."
Sir John Chilcot (H/S. 1952-57)
