Stowe  Sharks  (SocS)      Definition    A  Stowe  Lion  (or  ‘All  Lion’)  is  a  Stoic  that  represents  a  Lion  Society  Sport  at  1st  Team  Level  for  a  complete  season  (Academic  Term).  Stoics  that  represent  two  Lion  sports  is  a  ‘Two  times  all  Lion’  ,    ‘Three  times  all  Lion’,  etc.    For  Coldstream  Cup  recognition  Stoics  must  participate  in  2/3  activities.      SocS  stands  for  ‘Lion  Society  Sport’.  1st  Team  Captains  of  these  society  sports  are  also  referred  to  as  SocS  (‘socks’)  together  they  committee  the  society  and  its  movement.          Initial  Lion  Society  Sports  (SocS)  &  Captains;    

Basketball     Sadiq  Abbagana                (all  lion)  Cricket   Ben  Duckett                              (three  times  all  lion)  

Hockey     TBD                                                              Rugby   Oscar  Page                                  (two  times  all  lion)  

Rowing   Fred  Wheeler                        (two  times  all  lion)  Swimming   Harry  Warden                      (two  times  all  lion)  

Coldstream  Cup   TBD  (2012  Winning  Captain)    As  before  Masters  in  Charge  elects  captains.  They  receive  a  pair  of  custom  SocS  tracksuit  bottoms  and  the  Lions  Cardigan  as  seen  under  ‘Lion  Mascot’.  (Possibility  of  a  SocS  tie)      Lions  Mascot  

 A  school  mascot  will  be  acquired  through  fundraising,  which,  along  with  the  logo,  will  become  the  face  or  symbol  of  Stowe  sport  elitism.  Volunteers  have  been  recognised  who  will  rota  the  mascot  parading  duties  alongside  major  lions  events  at  home  and  perhaps  at  major  away  matches  such  as  the  Daily  Mail  Cup,  Rowing  Nationals,  etc.

 The  cardigan  was  originally  designed  for  Stowe’s  1st  IV  rowing  crew  &  1st  Singles  (Origin  behind  ‘Sharks’  which  was  reinstated  ‘Lions’).  It  will  become  the  school  mascot’s  uniform  and  available  for  purchase  by  members  of  SocS  (possibility  cardigans  will  be  available  to  ‘All  Lions’  as  well  -­‐  TBD)        SocS  Cup  

 The  SocS  Cup  will  be  a  cup  awarded  at  Stowe  Speech  Day  by  a  current  Society  Captain.  The  cup,  unofficially  a  ‘House  Cup’,  will  average  house  merit  league  tables,  inter-­‐house  sport  leagues  and  Coldstream  Cup  rankings.    However  no-­‐works,  defaulters  and  sanctions  discredit  house  point  averages.    A  member  of  SocS  will  update  the  cup’s  league  board  every  6  weeks  with  current  point  standings.  The  board  will  likely  be  located  on  the  pin  board  outside  the  school  deputies  offices.  (We  are  looking  at  some  other  cup  designs  all  of  which  have  a  height  of  about  22  inches  and  are  made  of  stainless  steel.)    

 Costs    The  overall  project  will  cost  around  £400  to  £600,  which  we  aim  to  raise  through  fundraising.  Estimate  £150/175  for  the  Shark  Mascot  and  XXL  Sharks  Cardigan  and  a  further  £400  to  £500  for  the  custom  SocS  Cup  and  engraving.        Conclusion    We  believe  the  project  will  promote  sport  at  Stowe.  People  will  be  encouraged  to  earn  the  ‘All  Lion’  title  and  more  than  likely  be  encouraged  to  exceed  within  other  sports.  Rugby  and  Basketball  players  out  of  season  may  aspire  to  be  Rowers  or  Swimmers  in  the  summer  seasons.  Likewise  we  may  see  Beaglers  with  a  hidden  talent  for  Cricket.  Making  the  sports  work  together  to  maximise  seasonal  results.  Stowe  being  a  reasonably  new  school  lacks  any  form  of  real  tradition.  (Eton  for  example  have  ‘POP’  society  which  is  ultimately  Eton’s  popular  athletes.)  We  believe  that  this  can  evolve  to  become  a  generational  tradition.  Once  an  ‘All  Lion’  always  an  ‘All  Lion’  The  SocS  cup  promotes  hard  work  on  and  off  the  field.  Averaging  academics  with  sports  gives  a  sense  of  worth  to  that  geography  merit  or  inter-­‐house  match  result.

Stowe  Lions  (SocS)  Twitter      The  account  was  originally  set  up  for  the  benefit  of  StoweRowing.co.uk  however  it  has  recently  been  converted  to  accommodate  all  Lion  Sports.  SocS  captains  will  be  the  only  ones  to  have  access  to  this  account  via  mobile  phones.  They  will  tweet  their  teams  training  progress,  match  results,  tour  reports  and  all  things  lions.  The  use  of  hashtags  ‘#’  will  be  used  by  followers  to  identify  sports.  (For  example;  Stowe  Rugby  tweet  ends  with  a  #StoweRugby)        The  possibility  of  a  website  will  also  be  looked  into  with  a  partnership  with  Vividas  that  will  also  Lions  to  be  broadcasted  live.                              (N.B.  Cheerleaders  would  be  awesome…)
