school john atherton mp cricketTaking place on November 9th, the evening is to celebrate the re-opening of the schools theatre, as well as to raise funds for the school's drama centre. Former England cricket captain Mike Atherton will be joining John on the all Old Mancunian panel.

John Leech MP said "I am looking forward to taking part, although I expect the questions will be every bit as tough as on the television version! MGS has produced some fine actors in the past, and I am sure that this new theatre will offer fantastic opportunities to budding Ben Kingsley's of the future. I'm certain the audience will try and bowl Mike and I some googlies!"

John Leech added after the event

"The new theatre looks fantastic, MGS has produced some fine actors in the past, and I am sure that this new theatre will offer fantastic opportunities to budding Ben Kingsley's of the future. I really enjoyed the question time style event and the audience certainly bowled us some googlies! There was a wide range of questions from whether the new stage was bigger to the betting scandal in cricket and from Chinese human rights to tuition fees."
