The Assembly began with a report from some of the Third Form boys about their visit to Brands Hatch. They delivered it really well: the boys were, in order, C Goswami-Myerscough, G Oakland, M George, J Bell, C Blampied, S Sogbesan, A Figg and A Elgendy. It was followed by a description of the visit to Eton to see the pianist John Lill perform, writtten and performed by h Kanabar, with assistance from E Revill. Then came the awards - a decent number.

After the rugby results, the Captains were appointed, Yes, CaptainS! A Aspland-Robinson and T Pearce wil share the job, each responsible for a different section of the team.
There were no more promotions. It has been a great term so far, and all of the 6th Form have fulfilled their roles so well that it would be invidious at this stage to pick any boys out. The Headmaster urged them to keep up their good work.
Finally, he described Lawrence Dallaglio's forthcoming visit to Caldicott on Wednesday. All of the boys will get to see him, and 86 jars of his new Bolognaise sauce will be delivered on Tuesday and a special lunch prepared with it on Wednesday. He will even be helping to serve it!
The Headmaster then talked about the online auction, which parents have been notified about. Bids are being taken for ten signed rugby balls, and the winning bidders will have their photograph taken with him. The auction is specifically to support the charity Help For Heroes, which helps those injured in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The website is excellent: do have a look.
Now fast forward 12 hours. The Friends of Caldicott have done a fantastic job arranging the New Parents' Supper, slaving away for all of the day almost until the very beginning. It was in full swing by 2100, as the picture belown shows:
