Gamma

They call it "The Uniform Shop," but the Gamma is still in the same place next to the Rackets Court. We went in on Saturday to sort out some studs and a spare pair of rugby socks.

Most of the business of buying uniform is done on line these days, and the trip to John Lewis on Oxford Street (who are anyway no longer the uniform provider) is no longer part of the rites of passage of joining Haileybury.

I seem to remember that the Gamma used also to do dry cleaning and that trousers and jackets put into hags were sent there to be cleaned with an extra on the school bill. None of that seems to be the case today. Polycotton has much to answer for!
