Clubs and SocietiesASTRONOMICAL SOCIETYThis year, the Astronomical Society has been in its usual state of appearing to be fairly dormant.One of the highlights of the year, however, was a visit to the Norwich Lad's Club where Mr .Patrick Moore, the well-known T .V . astronomer, gave a talk on new views on the Moon and Mars .We all agreed that his show of colour slides was excellent, and that the accompanying talk, deliveredin the usual Patrick Moore style, was equally good, and his radiant personality commandedthe attention of the entire audience .Another outstanding landmark in the history of the society was made this year when Mr .Metcalfe agreed to the School's purchasing an astronomical telescope for the society . This hasalready been used many times with great success, and observations have been made of theMoon, sunspots, and other more interesting celestial bodies .For the encouragement that has been behind us in everything we have done we would liketo thank Mr . Paxton .Finally, the present committee, that has now run the society for three years, has come to thetime when the torch must be passed to other capable hands . In Faircloth we hope the societywill have a good president, and we hope that through him it will attain even greater success thanin past years . C . V. Tully, T. H . Wright, R . E . KettCHESS CLUBAt long last the team members have been rewardedfor their efforts over twelve years of WymondhamCollege Chess . Never before have the College teamsreached such a high standard of play . The Seniors wonthe Norfolk Schools Chess League, while at the time ofgoing to press, the Juniors were assured of at leastsecond place in their section .This year a new chess competition was instigatedby Mr . Poulton . It consisted of a three-section individualknock-out, the sections being Seniors, Intermediates and Juniors . The results were as follows :::Junior Winner - Symes (York) Runner-up - Higginbottom (Gloucester)Intermediate : Winner-Rippon (Gloucester) Runner-up-Woodman (Norwich)Senior Winner-Wright (York) Runner-up-Thetford (Norwich)At the 1971 Norfolk Schools Chess Congress the College representatives received theirshare of the honours : Marples, C . came fourth in the Senior Premier Tournament ; Leach camethird in the Junior Premier Tournament ; Symes won the newly-formed Minor Tournament .York won this year's House Knock-Out Competition after a very close replay against GloucesterHouse . Thus the Gloucester Shield goes to York House .I would especially like to congratulate the following on their chess achievements this year :Mr . Poulton for being the most devoted Master in Charge that we could possibly have had and on hisunbeaten record in our senior Friendlies ; Thetford and Carlyle for some memorable games, both inSchool and against other schools ; Nash who remained unbeaten throughout our League Fixtures ;Evans for his keen interest, which I am sure will make him a very good Chess Secretary ; andSymes for his great win in the Minor Competition, where he scored eight points out of a possiblenine .
Senior Team : Thetford, Wright, T . (Captain), Carlyle, Nash, Evans, Carman .Junior Team : Rippon (Captain), Woodman, Leach, Stanton, Symes, Beck, Marples .Rowland, Marples, C ., Gilpin, Taylor, Pawley, Pearson, Hooper and our secret weapon M .H .P.have also represented the College mostly in Friendlies .
