Thanks are due to members of staff who helped, boys who swam, and parents and friends who watched: but the number of interested participants was minimal. Little more can be said, except that school galas have, in the paste, been highly successful.

It is thought that, if response is not better in future, there will be no gala - and this would be a sad loss to the school calendar.

For the record, there were moments of excitement (especially in the relays) and amusement (especially in the Novelty Races and the Senior Backstroke, in which certain participants had to be reminded to finish the course, after stopping for a chat at the half-way stage); and the House of Gabriel scored a convincing victory - due as much to house spirit as to individual ability.
