Friday Celebration 9/10/15
Apologies to all for our delay in producing blog entries over the past couple of weeks. They will be added posthumously, especially the epic karting trip.
This has been an epic week in the house, as they all are, as house singing rehearsals ramped up with our first practise in the great hall itself led by the main man - Jonny. Stephen's willingness to step in on the piano two or three times this week, no mean feat for anyone let alone a Remove former, meant he was named the options' top bloke.
We also celebrated the fact that 9 of the 16 men in the charity wheelchair racing this Sunday will be men of Talbot's.
We will have 20 of our men in Rugby matches this weekend. We are proud of them all but special mention goes to Edwin who hopes to make his debut for the school in the U15D team game. In other teams there are:
3rd - Charlie, Ed and John as captain, 4th - Alex, 5th - Matthew.
U16A - George, B - George and Sasha, C- Dom.B and Gulli, D - (our most represented team) Justin, Frank, Sam and Adrian
U15A - Leon, C - Lennart, D - Dan and Edwin
In the U14s there is Dan in the Bs and Brady in the Ds.
In merits this week, Tizian was king with 4 but there were plenty of others awarded, as below. Tizian also took on the hosue in a countries and capitals quiz. Only Nikita was able to stump him!
Merits:
1: Oscar, Jonas, Nihat, Alikhan, Harun, Simon, Jonny an Ed
2: Dan, Lennart, justin, Hodges, Ben.M
3: Luke, Fuga
This week's room of the week is Morely; well done Ben.K and Hodges
This week's man of the week is someone who cleaned the kitchen himself without being asked to and also went out of his way to help with a prep school Rugby practise, again without prompting. That man is Danny!

Karting 2015
Last week saw us go karting in Milton Keynes. as ever the competition was fierce and we were very well looked after by the team at daytona.
The drivers aged under 16 were in a team endurance race for a full 2 hours. Everyone had half an hour on the track with varying degrees of success. The small track made for some hairy overtaking and the tyre walls were well used. The fastest drivers were Nikita, George.S and Lennart. In the end the winning team was Dom, Leon and Lennart. Teepee, Samuel, and the Georges came in second in their heavier car, followed by Sasha, Igor and Alvin.
The senior lads took part in a full grand prix. A 10 minute qualifying session saw everyone take their place on the grid. As the lights went red, Ed (backed from the beginning to win by MRG) went out in front and led to the end. Behind him there were some epic battles though. Tom fluctuated like Chelsea in the premier league before eventually coming second and the rain and Talbot's competitiveness saw a number of disqualifications which allowed Matthew to finish third.
All the lads said it was a hit doing the racing in this format and most importantly, everyone left knowing a bit more about each other and feeling more a part of the house than at the start of the night.
