Some 60 5th Year boys and family members enjoyed the ASPA Summer Night Out in the garden outside the dining room. A variety of pub and table games including table skittles, shove ha'penny, table football and bagatelle were available and the level of competition increased as the afternoon progressed, particularly among the parents.
The 40 foot skittle alley also proved popular with some interesting techniques being demonstrated. All present enjoyed a barbecue provided by the school caterers before the rain showers predicted for the day finally arrived just after 7pm. At this point the event moved into the dining room, somewhat to the consternation of the boarders enjoying their supper, and the games continued. Many thanks to all those who attended and to the catering staff for their hard work.
