Field Gun has a new home for Speech Day! @WellingtonUK

It's been a wet season so far but the crew is working hard every opportunity they get. Here they practice the run home.

Start slow, build a foundation and the rest will follow.

Our first on person Speech Day for 3 years. The gun crews did a wonderful job. Looking forward to next year!

[Wellington College @WellingtonUK]

The first live Speech Day for many Wellingtonians, I'm sure they will agree it was worth the wait!
Thank you to all the Staff, Pupils & Parents who made #SpeechDay2022 one of the best yet.

All phases of the run are now understood and practiced. Now to put the whole thing together.

[WC FGO @WCFieldGun]

It's the little details, repeated over and over again,that make the whole thing work.

Rain cancelled yesterday's training. Today the sun is shining!

Another beautiful day to train. The ultimate team sport.

[WC FGO @WCFieldGun]

Field Gun is back!

[Wellington Coll CCF @Welly_CCF]

The results are in. A top 5 finish for the Pringle team (5th place)!

The Pringle team's mission: to set a stronger foundation than the year before!

Do this and success will build.

[Wellington Coll CCF @Welly_CCF]

A superb effort by the 2022 Royal Marine Pringle team. They competed against 16 other top CCF contingents and remained professional, resilient and humorous throughout. A credit to @WellingtonUK and their houses.
