As a former pupil of
BRGS (1947-1954), a member of several school teams, and with
an ongoing keen interest in sport, I am proud to be the Chairman
of the BRGS Sports Hall Appeal. There have been plans to
build a Sports Hall for the past 10 years, but progress has
been slow because of limited public funds. This means that
schools are being compelled to turn towards the generosity
and goodwill of their local community and former pupils to
ensure their future.
Sport is only a part, but an important part of young people's
lives, and as a bonus, the creation of a Sports Hall will
also free up space to create more classrooms, which will
be a particular help given the limited teaching space.
The pupils at BRGS are still admitted purely on merit. If
you are lucky, as I have been recently to meet them, you
can see in the light in their eyes that they will give of
their best for themselves and the community. In turn, we
need to give them of our best.
Therefore, the school has taken the admirable decision to
raise funds to invest in its future and we have a capable
committee to support me in this aim. To achieve our vision
we are sharing our plans for a Sports Hall with people who
have a connection with and an affection for BRGS with a request
that you will consider supporting our appeal.
