It's a Knockout
(Nigel Allen, The Bostonian - 1980)
November 19 1980, saw the first BGS inter Club "I'ts a Knockout", organised by the Charity Club. The event was held to raise funds for the National Tape Magazine for the Blind.
The teams, from various clubs within the school, were greeted on competition day by two inches of snow and a temperature near freezing point.
"Surely we cannot go ahead in these conditions?" was the plea.
"Yus", replied RWA.
The teams braved the conditions to put on an excellent performance, with the Charity Club 'A' team coming out on top.
Perhaps the bravest person at the event was Bill Cox, editor of the Tape Magazine. We hope his studio will benefit from our efforts.
