May 2026 Dinner

Photography by Bob Hawthorne

Another wonderful evening of reminiscences and friendship. A little under 80 Old Boys spanning the 1940's to the 1970's attended in the Trafalgar Ballroom at The Royal Maritime Hotel, Queen Street Portsmouth. Several new members attended their first event - it was good to have them on board. Sadly, once again, we lost a number of Old Secondrians during the last year and remembered them during the traditional silent reflection and their names appearing on the menu card.

Our annual tradition of presenting the Father of the House a bottle of Champagne. Not for the first time, the honoured recipient is Gordon Blackman, an incredible 97 years young who entered the School in 1940.
