The cross country team performances have grown significantly in quality and quantity over the past year, mainly due to the influx of new talent from UV and LVI. The season saw the revitalised tgam enter in the Birmingham League for the first time and, from twenty fixtures, both 'A' team and 'B' teams did well to obtain 7th place in the 'A' team and fourth position in the 'B' team competition. Another good success for the team was the school's domination of the borough events. We won both team and individual events with Chris Murray and Andy Levine first and second in the individual event. The team's efforts were rewarded with colours being awarded to the majority of the team. Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Holt for his encouragement and management of the team and hope that this vast improvement can be maintained as the majority of the team should be eligible to run next year. Neil K.J. Sinclair HOCKEY This was perhaps a routine season at home, and an inspired one on tour. Stuart Barrington and Iain Moppett inspired a surprisingly large number of players to great feats in Holland, with two wins out of three, and also in Cambridge, where they succumbed by only three goals against a very powerful University Wanderers side on a magnificent pitch. This in preparation for the tour to Oxford, in which a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and one defeat against some of the best schools in the country shows how far the school has progressed. The pick of the other teams this year was probably the 2nd Xl, who only lost to a school 1st XI, and one other game by two goals to three. At the other end,they averaged three goals per match, shared by a large number of players. Entertaining play for the spectators — many thanks to captain Robert Hudson. The standard of hockey played is at times excellent and highly exciting. Both boys' teams and girls' teams, which are reported elsewhere, are a credit to
themselves and the staff who continue to work so hard. It is only a disappointment that so few spectators ever observe this, when so many observe the alternative game.

Thus we have the honour of being unbeaten for one and a half years. The first major event of the season was the Borough Gala where wins were recorded at U12, U14, U16 levels and the senior team achieved a close second to the Sixth Form College with an excellent victory by Jon Glanfield. The second event was the Bromsgrove Relay Gala, where the school won at senior and intermediate levels with the juniors coming second, missing victory by one point, thus winning the overall competition for the second successive year. Finally,in All England Schools Division Six Trials, all the teams came second, therefore earning a chance for a place in the National Competition. During the year, excellent swims have been achieved by Jon Glanfield, Rich Ashford, Mark Ashby, Rory Maclean, Neil Sinclair, Ed Chacksfield and, of course, our ever modest Captain, resulting in the breaking of the backstroke record by Jon Glanfield and the breat stroke and freestyle records by the Captain. It is encouraging to see so many good swims at the Junior and Intermediate levels with Matthew Shaw and Steven Wort producing the most impressive swims showing great potential for the future. The girls proved themselves to be capable of achieving some good results with excellent swims by Sally Brotherhood, Naomi Hames, Vickie Shelley, Lucy Rowbotham and Joanne Duck. Again, great thanks must go to Mr. Caldicott for his enthusiasm and dedication which enabled him to reform the teams with clever training sessions throughout the year which resulted in the best overall record yet. Also, the spirit and great determination of all the teams must not go unmentioned. Vitek Aukstolis Not to spare their blushes, much of the credit for the success of the team must go to Vitek Aukstolis and Naomi Hames for their organisation, determination and motivation as well as their outstanding swimming ability. They have both been excellent Captains. S.L.C. SAILING School sailing has again enjoyed a successful year in which the young 'A' team won all their matches. The fixture against Malvern College, sailed in tricky conditions on the River Avon, was particularly pleasing. The school 'B' team, however, narrowly lost both their matches. Saturday sailing has again been very popular throughout the year with many new faces amongst the regulars. Sailing in the Middle School is popular and well supported and, again, the standard of helmsmanship promises well for the fu ture. The School Regatta, held at Olton Mere on 25th June, was well supported and provided some interesting light-air sailing. So at the final event of the day, the Handicap race, fifteen boats came to the start line, though not all of them crossed it on time!! The Inter-House Shield was won by Windsor. In the Helmsman's championship, the Harrison Cup was won by Andrew Dutton and his crew, Lawrence Shell, won the crew's shields; second was Simon Rose and third, James Pick. The Hill Handicap Cup went to Simon Rose and the Bodenham Trophy for second place to Lawrence Shell. The Novices Trophy for the most improved sailor of the season was awarded to Chris Temple. At the end of the season, full colours were awarded to Andrew Dutton, Simon Rose and Lawrence Shell and half-colours to Philip Hackett, John Matthews, Steve Penton, James Pick and Chris Temple. Thanks, finally, to all the staff involved in running sailing at the school for all their help and enthusiasm during the year. Andrew Dutton SURVIVAL SWIMMING GROUP The survival swimming group has continued to flourish this year. Members of the group have achieved over fifty awards for survival swimming. Many of the boys have also been working on stroke improvement and speed swimming awards. This year, there has been a greater interest shown by pupils from the Middle School with the appointment of Robert Murphy as a trainee instructor for next year and the possibility of further appointments in September. Thanks must go to all the instrutors — Edward Chacksfield, James Houston, Sarah Hutchings, Pippa Robinson, Karen Sheward and Mark Turner — who have make this such a productive year. Congratulations to Edward and James who are to take charge of the survival group next year. On behalf of the group, I would like to thank Mrs. Instone whose help and encouragement throughout the year has been much appreciated. Naomi Harnes. L.S.T.A. The Lifeguard Corps This year has not been the most active for the Lifeguard Corps. However, we have maintained a regular weekly presence at Tudor Grange Pool for the Handicapped S.E.A.L.S., and provided Lifeguard teams for a number of major local galas. The highlight of the year was the saving of one small boy who, having taken the plunge, had evidently forgotten how to swim! In continuing to provide this valuable service next year, the Lifeguard Corps would welcome new members. C.M.Pullen
