This year the OL Club AGM and Summer Party was held at the Royal Thames Yacht Club in Knightsbridge, London, on Thursday 11 May. Following the AGM, OLs and guests were able to gather on the terrace as it was a beautifully warm spring evening. Six decades of OLs attended the occasion and their company and conversations characterised the generous spirit that is so much a part of the Lancing family.
The Head Master provided an update on the College and talked about his ambitions for the College’s future. He promised to reveal more about these in the coming year as the school starts its 175th anniversary celebrations in September 2023. The Chairman of the OL Club, Nigel Bennett (Olds 1972-1977) said he was delighted to see so many young OLs at this event and it was wonderful that they made up the largest group from all the decades represented. He felt the future of the Club was in good hands with four young OLs elected as new Committee members at the AGM - Michael Brainerd, Paige Taylor, Matt Butti and Frankie Tudball and he was determined that the voices of the younger generation would increasingly be reflected in the make-up of the Club.
He also thanked the four leaving Committee members - Rob Black and Priscilla Stevens for their thoughtful contributions to the OL Club cause and to Rob Walker who has been at the heart of "business networking" for OLs and to Anthony Phillips whose contributions to Club matters have always been astute, well thought through and with the Club's best interests at heart.
