The longest running Bradfieldian regional lunch held in Hampshire and hosted by the Bradfield Society took place on Friday 20 March 2026 at Brasserie Blanc in Winchester. Originally the idea of the late Ian Havelock-Stevens (G 52-57) who lived in the area and was keen to organise a lunch for Bradfieldians, it has always been a popular event and venue.

This year was no exception with many regular guests attending and a group of B House boys from the Class of 1993 getting together again this year including James Polansky, Phil Warrener and James Eldrett. Considering this, the Bradfield Society had member of the SCR Roger Keeley join the lunch alongside former member of the SCR Colin Burgess. Derek Smith (F 77-82) said afterwards “It was, as usual, a very good event with lovely food - and good to meet some old friends again. I know how much work it must be to set these kinds of things up, and it was all very smooth and easy, so a big thank you.”

Thank you to everyone for coming along and for making it once again a very successful lunch.
