Our exhilarating and nail-biting BCS Wall Climbing competition took place on the second flat – the Chief Guest was Major Anamika Pundir who was very impressed with the level of the boys fitness. The Cottonians have been training hard for this competition in their afternoon sports sessions, it requires strength, grit and determination to reach the top of the 15 foot wall. (*of course our trained climbing coaches keeping a close eye with their safety ropes)
Curzon won the overall Wall Climbing contest and Ibbetson won the Proficiency shield. An amazing three school records were broken on the day of the competition – Go Cottonians! Well done all participants.
