Kate Stephens (NC 1991-1993) and her fellow team members of the all female skydiving team, Bodyflight Storm, have become British National Skydiving Champions. They won the gold medal at the British National Formation Skydiving Championships held at Target Skysports at Hibaldstow, Lincolnshire in August 2007. The team has secured a place at the World Championships to be held in France in August 2008. Kate said, "I am really excited we have won, but now we have our sights firmly set on the World Championships in August next year so the work has already begun to keep us very much focused on our ultimate goal."

Nick Gray won his first full international Rugby Union Cap, at the age of 36, when he represented Cyprus in a recent IRB triangular competition against Azabajan, Monaco and Slovakia. He came on as a replacement for 10 minutes in the match against Azabajan! He was quick to point out that playing against the might of Azabajan was not really top level international rugby but he is, we suspect, the first rugby international since R E Prescott (B1 1927-31). Thanks to Bob Pick, Deputy Head, for this story.
