Curry!
Who wouldn’t want to have a curry with fellow OLs? The table will be booked for twenty on 26 June at 7.30pm in a BYOB restaurant (Tayyabs in Fieldgate St, London) so it’s a real first-come, first-seated policy. Tayyabs is a fantastically busy restaurant providing extremely well-priced Punjabi cuisine. If you haven’t heard of Tayyabs before or think that E1 is a bit far to come, I assure you that the food is top notch and well worth the journey!

This year the Lancing Club went afloat for the AGM and Spring Reception aboard the HQS Wellington - headquarters of the Master Mariners Association on the Thames Embankment.
The AGM was held in the Court Room, surrounded by maritime memorabilia and portraits of weather-beaten mariners. In the lobby outside the Court Room hangs the ‘only portrait of Edward VIII as King’. The AGM was rather better attended than in recent years – some 30 OLs were there.

SURREXIT – Lancing College Chapel Choir’ latest CD For three glorious evenings last summer term we all trekked off to the medieval church of Boxgrove Priory near Chichester. Lilac blossoms hung rich and creamy in the warm sunshine, but the church itself was cool and welcoming, its vaults still bedecked with those delicate tendrils painted there in the reign of Henry VIII. The doors were shut, the singers took up their positions beneath the central tower, and the recording light came on.
The first of over 100 takes was underway, Michael Haller’s Easter motet Surrexit pastor bonus. The 12th century monastic building filled with chords and counterpoint as dusk drew on, and more and more one could sense the truth in the words of the former Times editor, Simon Jenkins, when he wrote of that central space in the Priory church: “its crossing is a mystery of light and dark”. Over those three evenings we would try to capture something of this mystery in our singing, of this elusive light and dark.
The CD is now available to purchase for £10.00 plus P&P and you can also listen to a few tracks on the Lancing College Website.
