Talbot's House

Friday Celebration 29/11/13

Another epic week in the house has come to an end and there is much to celebrate as ever!

On the domestic front, it was exciting to see boys arriving back from Exeat with Christmas decorations for their rooms. Mrs Gracie went around them all to see how they were getting on and was so impressed by the odour (Nice not nasty) in Fitt that they were awarded an impromptu prize. Well done Assan and Rufus. the cleanest room went to Henderson, home of Charlie, Dom.K, Alex and Jonny. We also put up the decorations in the barn on Friday, it is certainly colourful, but the effect of mini Talbots getting involved needed some repair over the weekend!

On the sporting front, we were duped into thinking Tom had received confirmation of his place in the England U16 Hockey training squad, but we are still waiting. There were a good number of boys in teams again, with the 5th team again having our biggest representation; Dylan, Assan, James.S and Philip doing us proud. Nihat and Duncan's promotions to the under 15C team to join Bob left them a close second.

The biggest news on the sporting front was that the march to the senior Fives title is finally complete and

We also had the house trip to grease this week and celebrated how good Rio, Ilya and Dylan were in it. Mr G was also mentioned.

This week's house Merit competition saw the title finally returned to its spiritual home - Bob's desk (4 merits) with Assan and Sergey in second place on 3 and Sasha, Kritt and Rio all on 2.

The top bloke award went to Adrian.H for his all around smiley presence in the house and lightening of the atmosphere.

Man of the week went to the man who took another member of the house to the bank to help them get a statement and baked matron a birthday cake as well as being a top head of house. That man is Dom.B!
