35 REPORT SEASON 2014-15 The Football Club is probably the most well known of the societys four sporting sections and certainly one to which a lot of Hgs pupils gravitate after having left school. The Club currently runs four separate teams all playing in adult leagues under the auspices of the Birmingham and district aFa. The Club always undertakes pre season training and friendlies at our ground in romilly avenue. The current season was no exception and with a large skilful squad we had high hopes that success throughout the teams would occur. sadly all four teams sustained significant injury problems to key players and with a number of postponements due to bad weather it was almost impossible to keep settled sides. Having to use many additional players we found it difficult to use cohesive tactics. The 1st Team managed to reach the Quarter Final of the senior Cup losing to sparkhill in the last minute by a single goal a story often repeated in the League leaving the team fighting relegation. The 2nd Team started really well and were top of the League at the halfway point of the season but with the lack of a consistent side a mid-table position is inevitable. Many players turn out for both the 3rd Team and the over 35 vets Team. wearing their 3rd Team hats the second half of the season has been excellent with really great performances leading to their current positive position. every year our vets enter the season with high hopes and had early successes being top of the League by Christmas. sadly reigning champions shirley snatched a victory which prevented us from moving forward to the knock out stage leaving us to plan another assault on the title next season. we are actively looking for new members from Hgs for the 201516 season. if you are interested in joining contact Mr Conway who will pass on your details to the appropriate Team Manager. Year 7 Science Clubwhen we first signed up for the science Club we did not really know what to expect who was to run the club and what we would be doing we then found out that a Mr Chester Lewis a final year Physics undergraduate from Birmingham University would be leading the sessions. we were quite happy because we thought that he might not be as strict as our science teachers are we have carried out a lot of activities in our sessions including Making telescopes we had a variety of equipment for making our telescope including a 1 metre rule and lenses of different focal lengths. Our aim was to position the lenses on the metre rule to produce magnified images of objects and then read a code at the far end of the laboratory using our telescopes. Forces in pairs we were given an egg and some other supplies including a sponge string and pipe cleaner. we had to secure the egg as much as possible so when we dropped it it would not crack. My pair and another group won the weekly prize of a can of coke and a chocolate bar. Solar power we each had an electric lamp and a solar cell. we started off by testing how much voltage the cell produced when close to the lamp and then at different distances until it was 70cm away. we then investigated how the voltage output would change when we filtered the light using different coloured filters. we also enjoyed sessions on space pressure and wind turbines. in conclusion i think that science Club was an amazing extra-curricular activity because of the work and effort put in by Mr Lewis Mr Mohsin and Mr Jones and of course the pupils that went to the Club Yashryan Singh Mahi 7W Our aim was to position the lenses on the metre and then at different distances until it was 70cm CLUBs and sOCieTies Bridge Trust Football Club we had high hopes that success throughout the teams would occur. sadly all four teams sustained significant injury problems to key players and with a number of postponements due to bad weather it was almost impossible to keep settled sides.
