My very grateful thanks to Mr. Bromwich, Mrs Doughty and Mrs Edwards for taking 16 boys on a successful ski trip to Leysin, Switzerland. I was delighted to receive a letter from the resort representative complimenting the Beacon boys for their enthusiasm, positive attitude and good manners.
MPMany thanks to Iain Presnell for leading an intrepid band of staff explorers into Wales (and bringing them back safely). The aim was to get to the top of Cader Idris but, sadly, it couldn’t be found in dense cloud!
