Dear Parents
The English summer sound of leather hitting willow announced the start of the cricket season this week, delayed so badly by the rain. A win against Bethany and two nail-biting, final over defeats against Eastbourne College and Dover College have allowed our boys to display their competitive spirit and skills in different age groups. At the same time, the girls enjoyed a win and a loss in Rounders matches and we take on Vinehall at Athletics this afternoon. The heat is on.
Talking of cricket, the Dads have been dusting down their cover drives, square cuts and googlies in the nets at Horntye in preparation for the annual, and this year, centenary Dads v Lads cricket match later in the term. Crowhurst Park is the delightful venue for this event on 24th June.
The Abbot’s Hall was full on Sunday afternoon for the Centenary Service, when the anthem written especially by Kevin Anderson, with music by John Langridge, to commemorate our hundred years, was given its world premiere. The Choir did full justice to this special composition. At the book launch three weeks ago we were privileged to receive her Majesty’s good wishes for the future of the school and very fortunately her senior representative in the county, Lord Lieutenant Peter Field, was a highly supportive attendee at the service with his wife.
I wish you all a good weekend in the sun!
Best wishes
Roger Clark
