As before, all ran who were not able to provide documentary evidence to prove their unfitness, We sympathise with a small boy who begged to be excused because running made him short of breath; but he chose the wrong Housemaster to try this one on.

A great many records were broken in this year’s Gala. This is to be expected; we are only in the second year of the new age-groupings, so standards are hardly fixed as yet. K Bennett set up 3 new records and M Bateman 2 in the Under 15 races. Vinette broke 2 Under 15 records and M Bennett and G Green also set up new best times in their races. New records were also set up in 3 squadron races.
