Although we did not claim the Parkes, AH Smith or Veldman cups we put up admirable fights in all three of the competitions making sure that the houses that did eventually win were pushed to the end by Gillingham. We fought well! Not only did we excel in the spor t, academic and cultural fields, but our spirit and war cries – and the inherent suppor t that they demonstrate – were truly amazing and the boys fighting on the field or in the pool were motivated just that much more by their proud Gillingham brothers. The bonds have been as strong as ever, if not stronger, between the boys and there were relatively few incidents in the house to repor t. My thanks go to the senior boys for some great leadership by example. I especially wish to thank them for the suppor t of the juniors. It is as a result of this supportive attitude that the juniors are so filled with respect and pride. We’re a team and so we can marvel at yet another incredible year spent in the old red house.
