@ThatsSoVillage Opposition player hit a 6 over the fence and hedgerow at long on. One of their players went round to fetch it and misjudged throwing it back over, the ball landed right in the middle of hedge and was lost.

@ThatsSoVillage Reached 172/2 after 18 overs chasing 217 (in 40 overs), then collapsed to 197/8 thanks to poor shots, a comical run out & some good bowling. Scraped home to win by 2 wkts thanks in large part to a fielder inexplicably dropping a sitter on the boundary & tipping it over for 6.

"Transformational" is how Bob Pigott describes his time at St Mellitus College.

It was a wonderful evening - the contributions of @ESOldfield and @JoyCFM were so important. Will be processing it for quite some time.

[Kate Middleton @communik8ion]

Such a great evening @youthscale @stmellitus THANK YOU for making this available for those of us who couldn't make it in in person - and THANK YOU to the two amazing speakers for offering such great inspiration, encouragement and food for thought

When my kids were in primary school, the Head wanted to move to Friday lunchtime finish & one of his reasons was so that families could go away for longer weekends🤦 2/2)

[Mark Scanlan @DrMarkScan]

The article says Friday pupil absences are worse in Primary schools. In my area at least Primary schools have largely moved to lunchtime finishes on Fridays. Maybe @GillianKeegan could look at this as a factor rather than tiresomely blaming parents 1/2)
