Old Burfordian Sam Goodchild, has finished in a very impressive 9th position in the Vendée Globe Classic!
The former Burford boarding student nealy didn't finish at all after splitting his main sail in half earlier in the week!

This is your opportunity to discuss your time at, and/or your connection with, Burford School... Write about your memories, ask and answer questions, trace old companions, find out what you always wondered about, suggest what TOBA might do next... The floor is entirely yours!
We have deliberately not started with lots of photographs and descriptions, because we do not wish to lead the conversation... We wish the direction to come entirely from you. So you're very welcome to add any and all photographs, documents etc to your posts to help make your points, and we will build galleries to illustrate how we all see our connections with Burford School and each other as the conversation develops.
To help keep things as easy to follow as possible, we have set out some 'categories', and invite your posts, and comments, exactly as you please. (And, of course, do let us know about anything that can be improved.)
And now, over to you... Do please log in and post and comment!
That should of course have said the first Briton to finish!!
