This handsome anthology, published to coincide with the school’s 140th anniversary, contains a wonderful collection of intimate, moving, funny and even outrageous memories from OEs, staff, parents, pupils and friends of the College.
‘‘Thirty years on, I look back at my days at Eastbourne College with considerable affection. Memories include treading the Big School boards, with much enthusiasm and little or no talent; cricket on College Field in the glorious summer of 1976; missed tackles in rugby; and the influence of outstanding teachers like Dickie Brent.’’
Adam Mynott, BBC East Africa Correspondent, Powell 1971 –76
"I remember particularly the friendliness of the school and the three years of unbeaten rugby success which our team enjoyed from U16 to 1st XV level. Over these times I made my closest friends, and also ended up in a job that I love: playing professional sport."
Hugo Southwell, Professional rugby union player (Edinburgh & Scotland), Wargrave 1993 –98
"My overall memory is of a splendid staff and civilised boys and girls. I consider my time at Eastbourne to be the best part of my life, for which I am extremely grateful."
Michael Birley, Headmaster 1956 –70
"The College remains delightfully fresh in the memory as a place where everyone is genuinely at ease with each other and talent flourishes."
Charlie Bush, Headmaster 1993 –2005
