Sports' Days 2006 A great time was had by all!
It's a Knockout is coming home! The 7th annual It's a Knockout was held this year at Thornford CE Primary School on Saturday 24th June 2006. The theme this year was famous films and our team led by our Captain Jackie Pitcher was representing the Sound of Music. Following six games of physical skill and mental intrigue we pipped all the other six schools to the post winning with a very healthy 48 points. And if that wasn't honour enough we will be hosting it next year eight years after its inception by our PTA at St Andrew's. Team members were Jackie and Mark Pitcher, Alex and Gavin Locke, Sam Willis, Vicky Brinsford (who also organised our super cheerleaders), Colin Hart and last but by no means least, Nick Clegg. Thank you to all team members, cheerleaders and supporters.
