Associations’ Dinner celebrates the Lancing Community

The annual Associations’ Dinner took place on 16 May. The College invites all committee members from The OL Club, The Lancing Parents Association, the two Prep School Associations and the Friends of Lancing Chapel, to thank them for their continued support and hard work on behalf of the school.

The evening started with a champagne drinks reception followed by a delicious dinner in the Megarry Room, cooked by Lancing’s Executive Chef, Jon Smith.

The Head Master thanked all Lancing’s volunteers for their commitment and dedication to the school and recognised in particular those stepping down from their officer roles; Anthony Phillips from The OL Club, Heather Beeby from Lancing Prep Worthing and the three officers at Lancing Prep Hove’s Parents’ Association, Vanessa Shipp, Sara Demetriou and Emma Brown.

He also thanked The OL Club for its generous donation of £25,000 to the Foundationers programme and the Parents Association for funding parts for a Greenpower Race Car in the D&T Department, two hockey dugouts for the Sports Department, a chocolate fountain and popcorn machine for the Catering Department and fireworks for the Leavers’ Ball and Bonfire Night for everybody. We are privileged to have so many OLs and parents who play an integral role in the life of the Lancing community and who help us keep life-long relationships with the school.
