For younger OBs we are arranging an informal reunion at the College for those who attended the school under Anthony Seldon, who was the Headmaster from 1997 to 2006.

Someone who definitely deserves to be remembered, and indeed celebrated, is Brighton's very own Edward Carpenter. One of 10 children, Edward was born in 1844, the family home being 45 Brunswick Square (okay it's Hove really). In 1854 he began attending Brighton College. Domestic pursuits included learning the piano and taking long horse-rides out over the Downs. Around this time he "felt a friendly attraction towards my own sex, and this developed after the age of puberty into a passionate sense of love".<br /> <p><a href="http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/literature/edward-carpenter-bc-1854-63.html">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=c9m05mHUWKQ:_ZtM59jqEH4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=c9m05mHUWKQ:_ZtM59jqEH4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=c9m05mHUWKQ:_ZtM59jqEH4:kq5hml-xsPI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?i=c9m05mHUWKQ:_ZtM59jqEH4:kq5hml-xsPI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=c9m05mHUWKQ:_ZtM59jqEH4:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> </div> The OBA Team Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:00:00 +0000 http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/literature/edward-carpenter-bc-1854-63.html http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/music/gavin-henderson-cbe.html Gavin Henderson (L.1960-65), Principal of Trinity College of Music and also Chairman of Youth Music, was made a CBE in the Queen’s birthday honours, for services to music and to the arts. <br /> <p><a href="http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/music/gavin-henderson-cbe.html">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=gQ5ssiWNzlQ:_S_0Faszgfw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=gQ5ssiWNzlQ:_S_0Faszgfw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=gQ5ssiWNzlQ:_S_0Faszgfw:kq5hml-xsPI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?i=gQ5ssiWNzlQ:_S_0Faszgfw:kq5hml-xsPI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=gQ5ssiWNzlQ:_S_0Faszgfw:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> </div> The OBA Team Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:00:00 +0000 http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/music/gavin-henderson-cbe.html http://www.oldbrightonians.com/reunions/oba-reunions/graduation-day-2009.html The Association welcomed it's newest members on Sunday 21st June following the traditional Graduation Ceremony in the College Chapel. <a target="_self" href="http://www.oldbrightonians.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=56" title="Pictures from Graduation Day 2009">Photos from the event are here.</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=bDcudRL8wiQ:HCQiNPNQKyw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=bDcudRL8wiQ:HCQiNPNQKyw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=bDcudRL8wiQ:HCQiNPNQKyw:kq5hml-xsPI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?i=bDcudRL8wiQ:HCQiNPNQKyw:kq5hml-xsPI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=bDcudRL8wiQ:HCQiNPNQKyw:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> </div> Alex Bremer (R. 1979-83) Sun, 21 Jun 2009 07:00:00 +0000 http://www.oldbrightonians.com/reunions/oba-reunions/graduation-day-2009.html http://www.oldbrightonians.com/rugby/news/1956-57-rugby-team-meeting.html <img src="http://www.oldbrightonians.com/site_pictures/london_dinner_02.jpg" alt="Mike Tremellan and Nigel" class="image" vspace="0" align="right" border="0" hspace="5" />For over 30 years a few members of the 1956 &amp; 1957 Brighton College XV’s have been meeting in London for a pre-Christmas “luncheon” to talk about old times. <br /><br />We started in 1968 with Graham Appleton (D) 1953- 57, Harry Bourne (D) 1954-58, Brian Piepenstock (D) 1953-58, Nigel Clarkson (A) &amp; the late Mike Bowen (D) 1953-58.

I, too, went to BCJS 1968-72. The uncanny thing about reading his article is that many of the same teachers / Head Master were there when I arrived!</strong><br /> <br /> I have often thought that there was a lack of interest in the JS yet the Senior School would have been NOTHING without us Junior School graduates! <br /><br /> Inspired by Buss, in the near future, I will write my own memoirs of the BCJS. I'd also like to encourage Fiona to create a BCJS forum /corner / emailcenter type spot on the Pelican website. That way we can develop some more contacts and share the memories. <br /><br /> One quick one whilst I have a minute: The air-raid shelter was still there in the late 60's and it was the case that when we were in Dorm 2, on the top floor of the main building, one of the dares for the new dorm 2 boys was to go down to the shelter at midnight and bring something back. <br /><br /> Some of my dorm 2 mates were Tim T.P. Smith, Geoff Bailey, Spiro, Simon Bannister (Nephew of Roger, or so he said) A.G.D. Sinclair, Paul Mendoza. Anyway, a couple of us planted some "tuck" from the sweet shop in the air-raid shelter during the day and then recouped these treasures and brought them back to the dorm for all to enjoy as a midnight feast! You might ask why the prefect allowed this to happen. Well, it was the bribe of the tuck being free to him, and a boat-load at that, which enabled him to turn a blind eye as long as we were not caught. <br /><br /> All ws honky-dory right through the scoffing of the fruits of our endeavour. However, when the sugary sweets got to our hyperactive brains, we could no longer keep the noise down and thus Mr. Rendall (Apparently a Scottsman) came storming in from his office next door and demanded to know what was going on. No one uttered a word as the snickering slowly died down we could hardly contain ourselves. Muttering something about giving us a good hiding Rendall started to leave. Considering we had ultimately escaped with the whole dare and eaten our bounty to boot, all we had to do was shut up and go to sleep. BUT NO! As the door was about to close, ensuring the dastardly deed was accomplished scot-free (pun intended), Tim Smith blurts out with a full gutteral braun, "Hoots- man!" To which, Rendall flings the door back open, flicks on all the lights, narrows his glare to the general vicinity from which the offensive exclamation came, and blares out, "GIT OUT OF BED IMMEDIATELY, IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!" Nobody moved an inch. Rendall, sensing that Smith was the one, yanks him out of bed, at the same time taking off one of his size 11 plimpsoles, and whacks him six times. <br /><br /> Neddless to say the snickering ceased and Tim braved the onslaught with nary a tear or wimper. <br /><br /> I remember waking up the next morning to a pillow of melted chocolate that I hadn't dared to eat or move that also smeared my left cheek and hair! <br /><br /> Many more to come....Yes we had Chestnut for Biology as well! Remember her scooter? <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.oldbrightonians.com/cont_archive_01.htm">Memories of Brighton College Archive &gt;&gt;</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=AY5CSIsyvlg:ixh9W9IcY74:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=AY5CSIsyvlg:ixh9W9IcY74:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=AY5CSIsyvlg:ixh9W9IcY74:kq5hml-xsPI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?i=AY5CSIsyvlg:ixh9W9IcY74:kq5hml-xsPI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=AY5CSIsyvlg:ixh9W9IcY74:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> </div> Andrew "Tigger" Gray (BCJS. 1968-72, B.1972-75) Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:00:00 +0000 http://www.oldbrightonians.com/correspondence/news/memories-of-brighton-college-junior-school.html http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/music/richard-jeffery-salter-music.html <img src="http://www.oldbrightonians.com/site_pictures/salter_02.jpg" alt="Richard Salter (B. 1957-62)" vspace="0" align="right" border="0" hspace="5" />Richard Jeffery Salter (B. 1957-62), baritone singer, born 12 November 1943; died 1 February 2009... <p><a href="http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/music/richard-jeffery-salter-music.html">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=A4a3aTzmt18:wmpgGlakGAc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=A4a3aTzmt18:wmpgGlakGAc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=A4a3aTzmt18:wmpgGlakGAc:kq5hml-xsPI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?i=A4a3aTzmt18:wmpgGlakGAc:kq5hml-xsPI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?a=A4a3aTzmt18:wmpgGlakGAc:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/oldbrightonians?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> </div> The OBA Team Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:00:00 +0000 http://www.oldbrightonians.com/hall-of-fame/music/richard-jeffery-salter-music.html http://www.oldbrightonians.com/cricket/news/joe-gatting-cricket-news.html Joe has joined the Sussex County Cricket Club staff after scoring a century during pre-season training against Surrey.
