Bournemouth Wanders Cricket Club - Cricket

King's College - Hockey

  • King's College - India, August 2010

    In all honesty this was probably the best school/trip I have been involved in. The itinerary did what it said it would do. India was a magical destination for both players and staff alike as we all apprecaited the cultural differences and the gap between rich & poor. To experience the sights, the smells and the sounds of India is an experience of a lifetime.
