$9,000,000 not $900,000?

Stan, I apologise for my spelling error (my only excuse is that I wrote it on the fly!) – however as I have told you before, I do not have a son that was in any way negatively impacted by ‘Parachuters’ In addition I do not have a major issue with Scots high performance centre – as long as they...

I still have high hopes that this current drama will lead to change – I hope the gang of 5 hold firm. To Lambert I make the following comments Listen to the majority of the parents of your current students (and your staff!) – I have bumped into more on the weekend – again the sentiment is...

Thursday 26 September 2013 Dear Parents and Carers, Over the past few days you will have read or heard of various media reports regarding the actions of a number of schools concerning GPS sport and GPS basketball in particular. I wish to inform you, regardless of your son's participation in GPS...

Firstly I want to make it clear I wasn't suggesting that any Scots parent is an idiot - please accept my apologies I am very very confident about the reliability of my sources - this is not hearsay - the massive majority of Scots parents - in fact all those that I have spoken to know their is...

Some Notes.... 1. 1. The Scots 1stXV this year had 2 or 3 boys only on Scholarship – it was a freakishly talented ‘natural’ year – they deserved to be outright GPS premiers and in a level playing field they would have been. Normally I would feel sorry for them that they have been ‘caught...
