WELCOME TO THE EASTBOURNIAN SOCIETY
The Eastbournian Society brings together our extended family of Old Eastbournians (Eastbourne College), Old Androvians (St Andrew's Prep), Old Aschamians (Ascham Prep), parents of both current and former pupils, current and former staff, and local people and businesses and other friends and supporters. Our aim is to maintain close links with any person or organisation who wishes to be associated with Eastbourne College and St Andrew's Prep.
Through a range of events, we keep in touch with and support our members, offering cultural, social, sporting, career and networking opportunities. We also look after those benefactors who so generously support our schools.

27 July 2021 - One month to go before the leavers drinks reception
There's just one month to go before the Eastbournian Society hosts a black tie drinks and canapés reception for former pupils who left the College in 2020 and 2021.
The Covid pandemic meant that the traditional celebration for leavers, the Cornflower Ball, was not held in 2020, and a modified version was held in 2021.
So this is an opportunity for recent leavers and their parents to celebrate properly their departure from the College. The reception is being held in the beautiful Palm Court at the Waldorf Hilton Hotel on the Aldwych in London on Thursday 27 August, from 6.00-9.00pm.
You can book and pay for your places online at https://eu.operoo.com/public_forms/195045/new. The price, which is subsidised by the Eastbournian Society, is £62.50 per person.
We look forward to seeing you there!
