Talbot's House

Friday Celebration 14/11/14

Term motors on fast, but there is always time to celebrate all the good things that happen (even of  this is written on the Saturday after the night before). We have produced a storify summary of the week below, let us know what you think via a comment or on twitter. If its popular, we'd love to start doing more.

In addition to the info above, Jack was awarded minor colours for his efforts for the 2nd XV this week -  a fantastic achievement.

In the pool, Jonny and Philip represented the school tremendously both securing wins in their races in Thursday's meet.

They are both in action this Sunday in a home water polo fixture along with Nihat and Assan.

In Rugby, two of the men of Talbot's were promoted to higher teams this week, Alex.G from the U15D to the U15C and Lennart to the U14C, having started in the E team! Alongside him in the U14s, Leon played for the A team away at Radley.
In the U15s Adrian, Jonny and Frank.L were in the D team whilst Sasha.P, Teepee and George played for the B team, including an epic try which was scored as a result of the three of them combining - a genuine team Talbot's try! Frankie played for the U15A. In the U16s, matthew continued in the D team whilst Bob and Alex both scored for the U16C, who Nihat was also playing for. This left no men of Talbot's in the B team, but Ben.K lead the U16s to another victory, adding further to his ludicrous try tally this term.
In the seniors, Nico played and scored for the 5ths whilst Ed turned out for the 4ths. Charlie, John and Justus played for the 3rds, with Charlie saying Justus was particularly good. Jack was in the 2nds whilst Rufus was part of the 1sts, the only team to win away today at Radley.

It was great that Philip and Leo went out to watch lads from the house in action too.

This week's lunchtime concert was for 5th form music students and Matthew, Hodges and Kritt all performed well, watched by Jonny who went along to support.

In the awards of the week, Henderson was pipped into 2nd place in the room of the week by John in room 1!



In the merit comp the following were awarded merits in the past 7 days:

1: Leo, Rufus, Tom, Fuga, Duncan, Hodges, Kritt, Jun, Sasha, Henry, Leon
2: Charlie, Ben.M
3: Bob
4 and king of merits: Darren

This week's Top Blokme was chosen by the options to be Michael as a result of his performance in the open mic night for charity in Wednesday and his being offered a place at warwick Uni.

This week's man of the week was Nikita who not only secured 5 merits but also was tremendously helpfula tm bowling with William.

Though all of the above are great, the absolute highlight at Friday Celebration this week was finishing off with the opportunity for lads in the house to nominate others to get a sweet prize for great stuff they have done. The list was enormous and highlighted the depth of appreciation the guys have for each other. This is a house where we value everyone and it was awesome to see it in action in such a tangible way. Bring on Exeat next!....
