Re: Reserve list
Although you are anxious, do not panic. Try to resist the temptation to ring at this stage. If you are desperate, then leave your call until next week, when you can ask on what date you might be contacted if places become available. As you aware parents of those selected have until early March to ac...

Re: Wiki is wrong! Launchbury
He has fallen on his feet since Wasps collapsed and been snapped up by Harlequins. Smith, Dombrandt, Care, Louis Lynagh, Joe Marler. You couldn't have picked a better team Joe. You would know I was a Quins fan wouldn't you. The Gallagher Premiership has seen three famous names fall by the wayside: ...

Re: Paintings in Chapel - Frank Brangwyn
I am a bit shocked to discover that the artist behind the murals was celebrated to the extent of getting a 'knighthood', the paintings are embarrassingly awful and I had assumed that the Foundation was scraping the barrel and skimping on the artist by hiring a journeyman. It just shows how early th...

Re: Wiki is wrong! Launchbury
Last night I was watching the rugby and wondered what Joe Launchbury was doing now. I looked him up and was surprised that Wiki has him going to a school in Devon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Launchbury I’ve never corrected Wiki, but I’m sure others here have the skill to do so. The school ...

Re: Miss Gracie, Matron in Maine in the 1960s?
All I can add, Andy, is that she stayed in Maine for c 20 years. Others might have a clearer idea.
I recall her as being firm and kind. All those bl**dy socks to fold!

Re: staff accommodation
Accommodation is allocated according to circumstance. Thanks for the response. What would be the likely arrangement for a family of three with a 7-year-old? Mostly I'm wondering if the living arrangements are conducive to a long-term stay. Or are they more comfortable for young single people who pl...

Oh well....I thought David Nrwsome was a great man and a sincere Head Master. I have many memories of talking with him as a pupil - as a House Captain/School Monitor, and as captain of the 1st XI, to which he gave unswerving and greatly appreciated support. He was unfailingly honest and complimentar...

A Level and Pre U results
Congratulations to the leaving Grecians who have worked so hard in the face of unprecedented adversity to achieve excellent results. Well done to those with a fistful of A*, but well done also to those whose C, D or E grades reflect countless hours of blood, sweat and tears.
Enjoy your futures.
