RENDCOMBURY 2010
Rendcomb's outdoor music festival, Rendcombury 2010 took place on a warm and sunny evening on the last weekend of the Summer Term. Following on from the annual Sports Day, parents and pupils enjoyed a BBQ, Pimms, Strawberries and cream and entertainment from pupil bands who performed on a "festival style" portable stage. For most the performers, this was their first experience of a large but very appreciative audience. In addition to the music, stalls and activities kept everyone amused and the evening was rounded off with the Maxwell Street Blues Band who had everybody dancing on and around the stage. The whole event was organised as a charity event to raise money for Lords Meade Vocational College in Uganda, a school for orphans whose parents have died from AIDS.

Delia Rich and Toby Channer (Year 10) recently completed The Winston's Wish Ultimate Abseil. This involved the challen ge to "take on the tower" by abseiling down one of Gloucestershire’s most iconic landmarks – the Eagle Tower
in the heart of Cheltenham. Standing at a goosebump-giving 168 feet
tall, Eagle Tower allows anyone at its summit to see for miles across
the town and beyond into the Cotswolds. The participants had to pledge to raise money for charity and we are pleased to report that Delia and Toby raised £600 and £150 for the charity. Well done to them both for a tremendous achievement.

Alex Stoneman comments, “ The hospitality afforded us by the friendly locals was wonderful, but we didn’t realise just how pink Jaipur was until we arrived. Everything from saris and turbans to the lampposts and the loos are all decorated in with this vibrant colour!”
