With most of fixtures at Step 6 and above called off because of the dreaded Coronavirus, it was down to one of the feeder leagues to get my fix today. So, not wanting to catch anything on public transport, apart from a train or two of course, I elected to drive to my game and I picked one that is, as far, as I know, very difficult to do by public transport. It took me just over two hours to get here and the ground is adjacent to the village hall, not that they really need one, as this is a very small village. The changing rooms are wooden and here I bumped into the jovial home management team, who pointed me in the direction of the local pub. After my recent experience of paying £4 for a pulled pork roll at the Hampshire FA ground, I thought that I couldn’t do any worse here. I was wrong. The chilli con carne with pasta with garlic bread (two slices) for £4.50 looked tempting and when it arrived it tasted nice. Problem was that it came in a large coffee mug! Back at the ground I mentioned this to my ‘trip advisor’ who told me, “I forgot to tell you that the food’s not very good!" Perhaps the clue was that no one came around to ask me if I was enjoying my meal, possibly because I didn't give them time, as I ate it in a few mouthfuls! Anyway, by now we were ready to go and once the rotund ref had finished off his fag the game soon got underway.

  • The-Hole-In-The-Wall-2018-19.Pdf
    Editorial Oh my!! Can anyone spot the mistake opposite? Sad but true: I very much doubt it was deliberate or ironic – and I think we can safely assume that whoever wrote the copy for the Worcester News sign has enjoyed neither the benefits of an education on a par with that of our former school, nor remembered F7 (spell check) before hitting the print button! But let’s set our giggles and smiles aside for a moment because the sign was the culmination of an intense period of work for a small number of Governors and senior leaders in school, the welcoming of Dodderhill School to the RGS family. As an institution, we take pride in tracing our roots back to the 7th century and we have many notable buildings – Britannia House, Whiteladies and Springfield come immediately to mind. Dodderhill, however, can offer us something none of our three current sites have: a Roman fort! As someone who has always had a keen interest in the Classical world, this is hugely thrilling. To whet appetites, Historic England’s entry about the site begins: “The remains of Dodderhill Roman fort survive well despite some disturbance caused by continuous use and development of the area. Its prominent location will add to the understanding of Roman military strategy during the earliest period. In addition, its position above the salt springs and adjacent to the Roman road will provide information about Roman exploitation of the salt deposits in Salinae.” I am not sure how we top that exciting development!!!!! The eagle-eyed reader (and I know from my correspondence that delightfully, you are many in number) will have noticed my perhaps overly- liberal use of exclamation marks.
