Active Kids Hunstanton hurrah
Harington students heading to Goodwood
STAMFORD TENNIS CLUB has been celebrating the success of some of its younger members at Hunstanton tennis week this summer. Guss Woodfield won the Under 12 boys’ round robin as well as the Under 12 boys’ doubles with partner Harry Dodds. And Millie Spilsbury and Alfie Rymers won the U14 mixed doubles so the club has done really well. Some of this credit must go to the club’s head coach CJ Selvidge along with Glen Perkins. Well done everyone!
SIXTH FORM STUDENTS at Harington School in Oakham have achieved great success in a challenge to design, build and drive an electric car to compete in the International Greenpower Challenge which takes place at Goodwood. In 10 weeks the students have designed and built an electric race car and raised over £3,000 of funding. In July, driver Thomas Harvey raced to second place in his class and third overall in the national competition at Blyton Park Racetrack, in Lincolnshire. This was after they had made modifications that led them to improve on their eighth place overall at Mallory Park (Leicestershire). The team has now qualified for the annual International Final at Goodwood Motor Circuit which takes place on 9 October. The Arkwright Engineering Scholarship awarded to James Stoate encouraged him to kickstart the process and provide an initial £200 of funding. The team are very grateful to their sponsors Amanet Ltd, C S Ellis (Group) Ltd and Berridge Taxis but need further funds for them to make additional improvements to their car, so are looking for sponsorship, support and advice from companies or individuals please. The team have made great achievements in such a short time competing against teams with access to racetracks, years of experience, much more specialist equipment and expertise.
