23 of our KS3 girls were invited to a day of fun, teamworking and cricket at Arundel castle. Some top class women’s cricket was on view as the British Army, Royal Navy & RAF battled it out on the pitch whilst the girls also got the chance to try problem solving tasks, fitness games and teamwork and leadership tasks. We were lucky enough to also have an inspirational talk from Captain Imy O’Brien, who skippered a rowing boat with a female only crew, across the Atlantic last year. The 3,000 mile journey was completed in just 46 days and her feat, plus the endeavours of the ladies on the pitch, made this a very inspirational and enjoyable celebration of women’s sport and achievement. A great time was had by all and a huge thanks needs to go to Mrs Wood who somehow managed to get all of us there, despite some last minute, logistical problems, we faced in the morning!
