THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM GH ONLINE
Issue 45 27 February 2005

Hello!

Outdoor adventures brought out a mix of emotions in the lower school; Tanya was still jump from her recent ordeal but for once, everything seemed to be going well for Alex. Meanwhile, the result of the forum name vote was announced and our Close Up Special on the 1986 reunion is now complete...

THE STORY SO FAR...
Alex was adamant he didn't want to go on the school trip - at least if he was at school he could go home at the end of the day. Ed admitted Alex was an embarrassment to be seen with. She challenged Ed to prove his friendship with him.

Shooting on the school DVD came along painfully; Dawn was adamant Jeremy had to go - else she would! Jeremy was astounded and broke down as he opened his locker to find the acting book his parents had given him. Tigger wound up Togger by claiming he could only go on the trip if Togger supervised him! Togger was unnerved at the prospect of little bro cramping his style. Tigger kicked a football into a bin - Togger took the rap, but warned Tigger he's make his life hell. Tigger was unfazed. At the end of the day, Tigger came clean about winding his brother up.

Martin complained to Mrs Bassinger about the IT restrictions, claiming everyone was being punished and pupils were missing out on the educational benefits. Mrs Bassinger announced plans to lift the restrictions once every class had been given IT safety talks. Baz presented Annie with the money for the trip - from Dad. When Tanya saw the wad Annie claimed it was spending money. Max goaded Baz about fancying Annie - he lunged at him and warned him to stay away. A friendship continued to grow between Martin and Maddie. Baz took another shot at Martin in PE - Martin stunned him by warning him to back off.

Ed reassured Alex he was still his best mate. Mooey cornered Alex, demanding £5 "or else". Mr Fox called a meeting for those going on the trip. Maddie accused Taylor of coming on to her, while Baz and Karen looked on. Martin asked Kathy why she never called any more. Spencer installed himself as Jeremy's replacement in the film; Emma walked out but worried about telling everyone the news. Dawn talked Kat into taking Emma's place. Alison told Alex Mooey's name wasn't down for the trip. Mr Fox wanted a decision - Alex told him he would be going. Alison was thrilled.

Years 7 and 9 set off for the outward bound trip. Alex was really looking forward to it but it almost wasn't a good start wen Chloe made another pop at him. Miss Adams made her apologise. When they arrived everyone thought they'd be staying in the manor house but the sleeping quarters were further up. The girls were less than impressed; the view of the woods unsettled Tanya.

The lads were impressed when Mr Fox caught a wasp with his bare hands. Miss Adams ordered everyone to surrender any food; they would be hunting for their own lunches! Chloe brought a sackful of sweets which she kept quiet about; she revealed if no-one could find any food they'd make a killing! Sammy was less than impressed. Mr Fox taught the gang how to hunt rabbits. Chloe and Andrea were hiding in the trees scaring them off - unaware Alex was filming them.

Back at school Max was hassling Maddie and Martin told him to back off; he responded by lashing out at Martin. Baz joined the melee and when Mr Malachay came on the scene, Maddie stuck up for Baz. He wanted to buy Maddie a coffee as a thank-you; Maddie said no. Baz continued to push the point; Martin warned him off with his brutal honesty. Baz went for Martin then reeled in horror as he realised what he'd done.

Max baited Baz about fancying Annie; and told him to meet him after school to "finish business". Baz got an idea when he noticed some ropes which Wally had earlier asked him to put away. Alison confronted the Wannabees for stealing everyone's food; one by one the others joined her in demanding answers. Chloe realised Alex had filmed them; Togger warned them to give everyone the sweets - or else.

Spencer talked Kathy into setting Malachay up - she asked him for "skiing tips" so Spencer could film Malachay acting like a complete prat! Kathy asked Spencer would he go out with her. He thought she was joking and hinted he was still after Kat and Dawn. Mr Fox realised everyone had contraband and the Wannabees were responsible. Alex suggested they prepare tomorrow's lunch as dinner - Mr Fox made them fillet fish which turned their stomachs. Alex continued his video diary and reported a great day on the trip. But Ed warned him to stay away from the Wannabees - and Chloe was determined to make Alex pay for their forfeit.
