BHASVIC has inherited the mantle of the former Brighton, Hove & Sussex Grammar School which for nearly 120 years produced many distinguished lawyers, politicians, generals, admirals, engineers, artists, musicians, sportsmen and teachers.

The PAST & PRESENT ASSOCIATION unites that proud tradition with the tradition already being created by the Sixth Form College.

Whether you have already left the College, or are about to leave, or even if you left the Grammar School many years ago, why not join the Association. The membership fee is only £5 p.a. and it will help you keep in touch with friends from either your College days or your days at the Grammar School.

There is an annual reunion, usually a lunch but occasionally a dinner, as well as a magazine, Past & Present, which is published annually. There is also an annual golf competition.

The editor of the Past & Present magazine is Mark Gillingham, 11 Elrington Road, Hove BN3 6LG

The membership secretary is Bruce Rawlings , Bay Tree Cottage, 35 Half Moon Lane, Worthing, West Sussex BN13 2EN

143rd ANNUAL REUNION

150 years of history was celebrated in College Hall, when 143 members and 37 guests attended this year's reunion on 4th July.

A fine lunch was followed with a reading by David Akers of two poems written by John (Jack) Smithies. Both are former members of staff, Jack 1940's to 1980's and David 1960's to 2000+. 'The walrus in the changing room' was published in Past & Present a few years ago; 'The things I like about Brighton' can be enjoyed in the forthcoming edition.

The day was rounded off by Howard Blake, this year's guest speaker and well-known composer. Howard amused us with tales of his schooldays, and gave an interesting insight into his musical career.

Come and join us next July for the 144th!
