Message from the LPA Chair

Fellow parents, 

I would like to introduce myself as Chair of the Lancing Parents Association.  My name is Roy Haworth and I have a daughter in Lower Sixth in Manor House. 

The Parents Association is open to all current parents and also to past Lancing parents.  Our aims are to support the College and encourage parents to participate in the College community and we are supported a great deal by the Foundation office for admin and logistics. This means our focus is on arranging social events that hopefully many of you will enjoy.    

During the year we organise various occasions to help raise funds to support projects of benefit to the students and College community. There are a number of events that you could come along to and meet us and other parents including the Malawi Walk BBQ Drinks tent at the beginning of the school year, Christmas Wreath Making, Social dinners and Comedy Night to name a few. 

The organising committee is a small, dynamic group who meet every half term to plan and organise the events and all parents are welcome to come along and join our next meeting, which will take place on Wednesday 10 September at 7pm in Megarry Room at Lancing College. The LPA AGM will be held on Wednesday 10 October at 7.30pm. We are always happy to welcome volunteers for the specific events or if you wish to get involved more regularly, we are also looking for new Committee members to take over as current parents often step down once their children leave the school. 

For new parents, we are hosting tea and coffee mornings on Sunday 14 September at 9am in the War Memorial Cloister, and on Saturday 27 September at 8am in the Shearwood Pavillion. We look forward to meeting you.
