She is a woman of great personal qualities and all are sorry to see her go. However, it is inevitable that quality staff will seek to further their careers having completed excellent serv- ice at King’s. Several other colleagues left for well-deserved promotions else- where in the country and the staff at King’s wish them well.

Field Trip to Snowdonia The highlight of the Summer Term for Lower Sixth Art students was the visit to the Trigonos Centre in Nantlle. The whole weekend provided an intensive maturation period for those involved as well as forming the basis of the work for the Upper Sixth year. Activities included building environmental sculp- tures, drawing slate quarries, water- falls and Mount Snowdon and the surrounding countryside. On the way to Trigonos a visit was made to Ruthin Craft Centre, the David Frith Pottery at Denbigh and the Oriel Mostyn Gallery at Llandudno.

Engineering Education Scheme The aim of the scheme is to encourage the UK’s most able students to consider engineering as a career. A professional engineer liaises with a small group of students over a period of five to six months as they work on a real indus- trial problem for which the company needs a solution. Richard Cartmel, Jonathan Gartside, Lauren Hindle and Greg Walsh were selected and the professional engineer was Miss Kirsten Hall of AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. In late October, she visited the school to outline the nature of the problem. The students also visited the AstraZeneca site in Macclesfield to gain some first hand

In the tours, the Taunton Tournament was a disappointment. Of course, the tour to South Africa less than a week afterwards was much on their minds. Off the field, however, team bonding was strengthened and this was to serve the King’s players well. South Africa was a once in a lifetime experience for many. The hockey played was of a very high standard against talented opponents and on non-match days some spectacular sights were seen. For the Upper Sixth it was a fitting reward for their years of dedication to hockey at King’s, and to the Lower Sixth it sealed the foundation for the season to come.

There were defeats against Arnold, Stockport, Bolton and Cheadle Hulme countered by a win against Birkenhead Prep. However, they did make progress in the AJIS eleven-a-side cup defeating Stockport GS and Liver- pool College to reach the quarter-finals. A hard-fought victory after extra-time and penalties away at Arnold School brought the reward of a home semi-final against KES/QM Lytham. In a typically high scoring game, King’s stormed through to their first AJIS Cup Final by winning 7-3. Spirits were high as the Under 11s coach journeyed to the Wirral for the final where King’s played strong

King’s girls’ dream of a double was shattered by the much taller St Alban’s girls who went on to win by three goals to one. However, the girls were gracious in defeat and, together with the cup runners-up shield, the team was pre- sented with the league championship shield, as well as replica shields for each individual player. They enjoyed mixed fortunes against friendly opponents from further afield. The first match of the season saw a resounding 11-0 win against a tradition- ally strong Birkenhead High but this was countered by a defeat to a physically strong St Bede’s. A loss early in the season against Wilmslow Prep was pleas- ingly reversed in the return match in the Spring Term. The final game of the season was played in the Summer Term against a touring team from Hereford Cathedral School with the visitors com- ing out on top by 3 goals to 2 in a very team and a girls’ team were entered in several good performances in the heats, tight match. both the junior and intermediate age King’s did not have anyone in the finals Adlington were this season’s house groups. in the four-lane pool.
