Sir John Chilcot (Ha./Sc. 1952-57), who hosted the event at the club, welcomed guests warmly and paid tribute to Peter Miller (Ch. 1945-49) who had originated the Vice-Presidents' Luncheon Club some years earlier. Peter was presented with an engraved silver wine coaster from the Old Brightonians in grateful thanks of his support over the years. Ian White (Ha./Ch. 1956-62) delivered a detailed and interesting speech about the College today, and rather fittingly given the theme of the venue all about the Brighton College schools overseas. Assembled guests very much enjoyed a pleasant lunch in good company and the wonderful surroundings of the Library at The Travellers Club.
Many thanks to Sir John and to all those who attended.
