Out and About
The hockey season started well with third place in the prestigious Goes Hockey
Cup 2015 in Barcelona. In addition to playing fantastic hockey, the team was
also recognised as the winners of the ‘Fair Play Award’. This says a great deal
about the way the boys conducted themselves both on and off the pitch, they
were an enormous credit to themselves and to the School.
Recruits visited Abingdon Airfield and
the 612 Volunteer Gliding Squadron and
enjoyed a field day at Dalton Barracks.
Deutsche Bank, visiting the European
Central Bank and a rare opportunity to see
the trading floor of the stock exchange.
Boys welcomed
the opportunity to
try gliding by kind
invitation of Bob
Bickers (OA 1961).
Bad weather prevented star-gazing
when upper sixth physicists visited
the Philip Wetton Telescope at
Oxford University but undeterred,
the boys enjoyed spectroscopy and
calculating the size of the universe!
