Tiny Iron makes a big impact

On Wednesday 16th of December, Habs was visited by none other than Tiny Iron: wrestler, actor, bodybuilder, celebrity bodyguard. Owning the biggest biceps in England, Tiny has starred in several films, including the recently released 'Dead Man Running'. He was greeted with astonishing enthusiasm, as hundreds of pupils from across the school scrambled for seats in the Seldon Hall. Answering questions from the pupils, he discussed the inspiration and drive necessary to achieve such physical prowess. He gave fascinating insights into the entertainment industry, and captivated boys with his unique philosophy and approach to life. A few brave pupils, not to mention a few staff, then challenged Tiny to a series of very brief arm wrestles.

Great fun was had all round, and the event succeeded in raising a large amount of money for the Just Children Foundation, which helps disadvantaged children in Zimbabwe. The visit was organised by Adam Landa and the Strouts team, and was promoted by a vigorous poster advertising campaign by the Upper Sixth Form.
