Talbot's House

Friday Celebration 6/5/16

As ever, another awesome week in Talbot's has passed. In fact, it has been two weeks with an Exeat in between since our last celebration night so plenty has happened.

The IB lads have made a great start to their exams and the y11s are going on exam leave tomorrow too.
Last week Ben.W gave a great performance in the Piano concert and there was an awesome 94 not out and 3 wickets in cricket for Dom.B.
Over the weekend, Tom.C played well and scored for England U18 Hockey in their camp with Scotland.
This week we had an impromptu volleyball competition on Wednesday which was enjoyed by all and won by a team of upper sixth with Ben.K in it called 'Where's Nico' (probably one of the most oft-spoken phrases in the house).

There have been many smaller highlights this week too: boys fetching meals for ill house mates, flagging damage to the house that needed fixing, There have also been individuals organising plenty of epic garden football matches and encouraging each other. we also celebrated HOH Charlie passing his driving test tonight.

This week's room of the week went to Charles and Stephen and seemed to be a much less controversial choice than some of the recent awards!

In matches this week we have the boys playing Tennis (Dan.S, Tizian and Sam.P), Cricket (Dom.B - into the A team and Alex.S) and Rowing at Bedford Regatta (Lennart).

The merit comp had two weeks worth in it with the following in it this week:

1: Sasha.P, Sam
2: Crows, Nihat, Sports, Curtis, Igor
3: Dunx, Gabe
4: Ben.W
5: Alex.C

and this weeks king of merits with an unbelievable 12 was Harun!

Top Bloke this week was Dom.B for his epic cricket performance last week.

George was man of the week for the way he took responsibility and provided an inspiration in organising and filling in at last week's athletics fixture at Oakham.
