AGS House

Post by ChessDad »

After all that and we are in a different house - CLIVE

So we have 2 Darwins! Never mind, I'm sure they will group up for CCF, Rugby, Chess, Cross Country, Swimming etc

Any more from CLIVE house?

Clive - such a brilliant name for a house!

I understand why a house would be called Darwin, but who is Clive? (Please excuse my ignorance if it's someone extremely famous that I should know about :oops: )
