AN INDIAN summer lies ahead for Bury Grammar pupil Oliver Standing who won the brewery trip of a lifetime.

Oliver (16), of South View, Chesham, took part in a competition organised by brewers Thwaites to discover the sights and sounds of the sub-continent.

"It will be a great experience and more than just a holiday," Oliver told the Bury Times.

Along with other winners, Oliver will fly out to Delhi at the end of July, staying in a hostel for a week, taking part in community work and visiting sights like the Taj Mahal.

The team then goes on to Bombay, for a real taste of Indian culture staying with local families.
