Field and Stream Association

On the following Thursday evening, 12th June, a very informal meeting was held at which the local driver, Bill Wood, displayed his 4 .7 litre A.C. Cobra to the Club. He was "interviewed" by Robert Pigg and he proved extremely interesting to the members. The Cobra, which he only recently acquired, is a beautiful example of this very brutish, hairy looking sports car which was immaculately turned out by Bill, who is, incidentally, an Old Peterite.

No more Club meetings were then held until after the examinations. The final meeting of the term took the form of a "grand outing" to the W.D. & H.O. Wills International Race Meeting at Croft Autodrome. Five of our members marshalled as the event was organised by the B.A.R.C. We were very fortunate as the weather was glorious, and there were some brilliant displays of really high-class driving to be seen which were performed by top-line drivers. Chris Craft won the sports car race in a Lola T70 Chevrolet, and Roy Pierpoint won both heats of the saloon car race in a Chevrolet Camaro from Frank Gardner in the Alan Mann supercharged Ford Escort Twin Cam. This must without doubt have been the best outing to Croft our Club has yet had, and we are very grateful to Mr. Bulcock and Mr. Wise who very kindly drove the school buses on- this occasion.

Next term Jeffrey Sharpe will take over my position as Secretary of the Club, and I hope all the members and the Committee will support him in his duties. I should also like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Pullin for his help as master-in-charge, without whom the Club could never have been formed in the first place. My thanks also go to my two fellow founder-members, Robert Pigg and Richard Houghton.

It has given me great pleasure to see the Club thrive so very much in the last two years, and my ambition to see a Club of this type in the School has now been realised. I hope the Club will continue to progress from strength to strength in the future. J.P.G.

This was founded in the Easter Term by a group of boys interested in field sports. The aims of the Association are to promote interests in field sports throughout the School. As a result of the Association starting late in the term, only two meetings were possible. Each showed a film— one on fishing and one on shooting.

In the Summer Term we had two outings—the first to one of Joe Wheater's clay pigeon shoots near Beverley. This was highly successful with some of the members displaying skilful marksmanship. Our thanks are due to Mr. Bulcock for taking us and giving us an enjoyable trip. Our second outing was further from home—to Chester-le-Street where we visited the country fair which displayed almost every field sport you could think of.

Next term we have planned a wide range of meetings.

We owe numerous thanks to Mr. Riley for all the effort and time he has put in for the Association. C.M.A.
