Convoy is a traditional Maidwell game played by the whole school once a year. It is based on the Second World War Atlantic Convoys and the aim is for merchantmen (younger pupils) to score points for their team by completing circuits of all 5 ports without being sunk by submarines. The key to succcess is to have well organised frigates to protect against the submarines, but frigates have to beware of the aircraft carriers. Of course a merchantman may be disguised as a 'Q Ship' ! The game is played in one of the school fields on a Sunday afternoon and this year the course was moved to the Barn Hill field with all the excitment of the small wooded revine and stream in the middle. This year the winning team was Beech and Oak.
