An Englishman holds on to the Rugby World Cup!

At least one Englishman got his hands on the Rugby World Cup when Tony Child, Managing Director of WCBS happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Tony was visiting the Diocesan College (Bishop's) in Cape Town where PASS has been in use for many years when Jake White, South African coach and father of a pupil at the school arrived to show off the magnificent trophy won after beating England in the Final.

Tony's reluctance to being photographed was overcome by the irresistible opportunity to hang on to the World Cup just for a couple of minutes more. On his return to Glastonbury, Tony, a keen rugby supporter, commented that, since it's been in English hands for four years after England outclassed Australia in the final in 2003, it's only right that English fingerprints should be on it once more before the battle commences to win it back in New Zealand in 2011!

Whilst in South Africa, Tony also visited St Cyprian's School, another long-standing WCBS customer. Countries where schools have adopted PASS recently include Dubai, Romania, The Netherlands and Switzerland. More and more international schools are recognising PASS as the system of choice.
