Adam Jones, ex-Wales international prop forward, arrived at the Blake Theatre in September to advertise his autobiography ‘Bomb’ and to explain what life as a professional sportsman was like. His talk was enjoyed by members of the school and the community alike.

Will, one of the sixth form students new to Monmouth School added, ‘I would like to say a thank you to Adam for choosing our school as the first place to talk about his inspirational book. I found the book very motivating and enjoyed meeting Adam at the Blake Theatre.’
