The annual Associations’ Dinner took place on Monday 12 May evening, bringing together members of the Lancing community to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions made by our volunteer committees. Representatives from the OL Club, Friends of Lancing Chapel, the Lancing Parents Association (LPA), Lancing Prep Hove PTA and Lancing Prep Worthing PTA were warmly welcomed to the College in recognition of their support and continued commitment to school life.
The evening began with a relaxed drinks reception with a special appearance from Polly, the College’s newly acquired and ever-popular vintage Peugeot food truck, which was stationed on the Chapel lawn. Guests enjoyed the picturesque surroundings before heading to the Megarry Room for a delicious 3-course meal prepared by Lancing’s talented Executive Chef, Jon Smith.
During his speech, Head Master Dominic Oliver expressed the College’s heartfelt gratitude to all those who give their time and energy to support Lancing. Special thanks were given to Neal Peckham, Secretary of the OL Club, and Alex Hicks, Treasurer of the Lancing Parents Association, both of whom are stepping down from their officer roles this year.
Nigel Bennett, Chair of the OL Club, offered his own words of appreciation for Dominic Oliver, who is concluding his tenure as Head Master at the end of this academic year. His leadership and dedication have left a lasting impact on the Lancing community.
The Associations’ Dinner is aannual tradition that highlights the strength and generosity of the wider Lancing family. We remain deeply grateful for the dedication of our volunteers, and look forward to coming together once again in 2026 to celebrate the vital role they play in shaping life at Lancing.
