The boys and staff (44 in total) for the South Africa Tour 2007 assembled at Kirkham Grammar School in their travel attire which included a specially commissioned blazer and tie and posed for an official tour photo whilst parents and friends took their own snap shots (click on image to see South Africa photos). Whilst on route to Cape Town a number of boys were given words of advice and well wishes from the assistant England Football Coach, Terry Venables who was also travelling on the Manchester to London Shuttle. After a short delay due to thunderstorm activity at Heathrow the boys finally emarked on the final stage of the trip on board a South African Airways Airbus. This was the time when it finally dawned on us that this trip was on with 11 hours and 6,500 miles ahead of us. What will happen over the next 19 days.
