Fourth Form Sculling Training

On Saturday 26th March, twenty-eight boys and five teachers went to the Dragonfly Hotel in Peterborough for a rowing trip. We spent four days there, and we all enjoyed ourselves a lot. On the first day, most of us were still finding confidence in our abilities in smaller boats, and we all took pleasure in seeing others capsize, and come up soaked. However, we improved considerably, even having a small regatta in our singles with everyone doing very well.

Special congratulations to Apollo, who won the regatta. On our last day, to have some more fun, we had a race in doubles, with the races being very close, and providing all the spectators with a lot of excitement. Well done to Wilder and Reuben, who won that one. Aside from rowing, we enjoyed ourselves a lot in Peterborough. We went bowling one night and had a great time. Many thanks to Dr Mayfield, Dr Field, Dr Killick, Mr Friend, and Dickie for a wonderful time in Peterborough, and a brilliant trip. ❚
