Talbot's House

Friday Celebration 29/01/16

This week Friday is welcome!!! The lads are really working hard and pushing on through the dark evenings. The strength of their efforts are evidenced by the growing merit totals at school, as you'll see below.

The meeting started with a solemn act of remembrance as we briefly eulogised the loss of two chickens to the fox last night!

We picked the mood up though with an attempt at this week's competition to know a word in every language that is spoken in the house. A number of men tried but none succeeded with Harun, the last man in undone by Nico's command of Swahili after his trip to Tanzania last summer.

This week we already celebrated Dan's success as part of the U14 county winning Hockey side and Harun and Fuga continuing to go well for the Basketball team. The fourth and Remove formers also did a terrific job welcoming visitors from eagle house today.

This week's Top Bloke was awarded to Sam though who made his debut for the Basketball side.

In other teams this week Adrian will be part of the 1st team Badminton squad tomorrow. In Football, Nico, John and Fuga continue for the 1st team but are superceded in excitement levels as Nihat, Alex.C and Hodges all turn out for the 4th XI tomorrow; I think there will be a number of men supporting at 2pm tomorrow!
In Hockey, Danny is in goal for the U14D's whilst Tizian has been promoted to the C team. Dan will continue to run out for the A team. Dom.B will play for the U16B with Charlie in the 3rds and Gabe and Kighty in the 1st team.

In merits this week it was a rollover as  there was no celebration prior to Exeat. The following made this week's table:
1: Hodges, Simon
2: Ken, Luke, Adrian, Sam, Brady
3: George and Ben.W
4: Dunc, Alex.S and Gabe
5: Alex.C, Edwin, Stephen, Lennart, Tizian
6 (and kings of merits): Harun and Alvin

This week's room of the week (for improvement apparently ;-) ) was Jonas and Alex.K

Man of the week goes to Igor who is working really ahrd on his running and finished his 100th km of the month this week, a great effort considering he always runs in his free time and doesn't do it for games.

This week's prize winners.....

Love the pizza on Friday nights!!!
