We followed the usual morning routine and then headed off to St Thomas' for our practice. The vicar came and gave us a talk and challenged Tom H to 'catch a five pound note' which he had dropped, and after several attempts, he managed to catch it. Mr Catterall taught us all how to conduct music as well, so I guess we won't be needing him anymore! Sam K went down and presented the lovely lady who owns Pickwicks with a choir mouse, knitted by Mrs Cross' fair hands. We then had free time and the boys either went to town or stayed at the hotel, as the tide was too far in to play football on the beach.
For lunch, we had Chicken Korma or Salad, which was very tasty. We then travelled to Laxey where we visited Laxey Wheel. We ascended up to the top which was rather scary, and we also went a little way into the mine which had been used between 1780s and 1930s. We went to the beach for a little while and ate ice cream - even Mrs Stockdale had one! We also built a very large pile of rocks.
After that, we had a practice at All Saints' which went very well, and then we got suited up before our evening meal, which was pork or fish pie. The Archdeacon of Man took the service and Dominic T sung a very impressive solo. We were given cakes, drinks and biscuits after the service by the kind people at All Saints' and then we returned to the hotel. It was entertainment evening in the dining area and some of the younger boys danced before going to bed.
