With less than two weeks before the Rams vs Pats game, in a discussion with a colleague at school, the idea was born to approach the NFL Office London to ask them if they would support the school making a short news item for the BBC School Report Day. Incredibly, game-day saw a member of staff and a student - incidentally Bafra's youngest Associate Member, Beth Thomson - standing on the pitch (sic field) at Wembley interviewing Davie and Dean! The Exmouth Community College American football Programme (est 2010) aims to promote the game in all its facets through the means available to it as a school's programme. The Wembley visit aimed to promote the work of Bafra and its members (along with Bafa, too). I hope you enjoy the clip - follow the link attached. The video has some audio issues (we went thinking we were going to have a quiet chat with Davie in an empty stadium!) but a written transcript is provided below the video box as is a link to the Raptors' college web page. With the whole thing happening within a two week period and other issues surrounding it, it was a frantic but incredible day. Huge thanks to Bafa and Bafra officials who allowed themselves to be filmed but especially to the NFL Office London for arranging it for us. www.exmouthcollege.devon.sch.uk/bbc%20report%20day%202012.htmlDespite all its imperfections, I felt it better 'out there' than not. Inside section really conveys the atmosphere, though. best wishes Rob
