Please join us for this special occasion to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and its longstanding educational partnership with the College. Among our special guests are General The Lord Richards of Herstmonceux GCB CBE DSO DL (Wargrave 1965-70), Chief of the Defence Staff 2010-13 and Anthony Lamb MBE Deputy Head (Co-Curricular) who was appointed as the new Head of Youth and Cadets in the Ministry of Defence in the rank of Brigadier in September 2022.
The CCF came into existence on 1 April 1948 and the College’s existing Junior Training Corps (JTC) was reorganised as part of the CCF scheme in September that year. Today over 320 pupils are in the CCF at Eastbourne College, one of the largest contingents outside those at military schools.
The cost of the evening is £150 per person and spouses and partners are welcome to attend. The price includes:
The dress code is formal evening wear ('black tie') or mess dress.
6.30pm Arrival to be taken through security
7.00pm Drinks reception followed by dinner
We will be fundraising for the Bursary fund, providing a unique opportunity for young individuals who exhibit exceptional leadership skills or a strong interest in pursuing a military education. With your support, we hope to raise the necessary funds to send deserving young talents to the College, nurturing their potential and shaping our future leaders.
This fundraiser promises to be a memorable event filled with inspiration and an opportunity to make a lasting impact. Your participation and contributions can make a significant difference in the lives of these promising young leaders.
