Going for Gold! Indoor Athletics Success Last weekend, our student athletes competed at the Middlesex County Athletics Championships. Despite it being our first ever visit to the games, BGTC came away with no less than 13 medals including 4 County Champions! The coaches at the finals were very impressed with our students’ sporting talent, especially considering some are so new to the events they competed in. Well done everyone and a huge thank you to Mr. White, Ms. Aird and Mr. Warmann for giving up their weekend and making it happen.
