BLOSSOMS TESCO TRIP
Last month children from Blossoms Nursery enjoyed a morning trip to Tesco. They are focusing on healthy eating and being more involved in preparing their own food. Together they made a shopping list for their lunch time meal involving baguettes, ham, cheese, salad, chicken, butter, cucumber, carrots and of course ginger bread biscuits. With lots of help from nursery staff they used food cards to help find the right food in the right isles. The children said, “We enjoyed seeing the baker man, he helped us get yummy baguettes for our lunch. We also saw some very nice people on the way who waved to us and said how well we are doing.”
SCHOOL’S PANCAKE RACES FOR CHARITY
Pupils at Avon House Preparatory School, Woodford Green, held pancake races in aid of the Chigwell Riding Trust for Special Needs. The children raced up and down the playground tossing their pancakes, with winners from Early Years, KS1 and KS2. This was followed by a staff race. Headteacher Amanda Campbell said the successful fundraiser had been great fun and had raised over £280 for the charity.

CAREER ACADEMY MENTORING EVENT The Career Academy at Redbridge College held their first icebreaker event in January where students had the chance to meet their mentors, business professionals who will play an important role in helping these young people prepare for the transition from education to the workplace. The Career Academy is part of Career Academies UK, which is a national organisation that links schools and colleges with employers to help prepare young people for the world of work. Every year at Redbridge College, the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business Studies students have the opportunity to apply and interview for a place in the elite Career Academy. The mentors help students develop their employability and confidence by
giving practical CV and application advice, and acting as a sounding board and critical friend. One student in her second year of the Career Academy, Veronica Salako, said, “My mentor has helped me so much with my CV writing, effective management of my time and even helping me develop my confidence in public speaking. I am really grateful for her time and commitment in mentoring me!” This year’s mentors include professionals from Barclays, BT, Santander, Hutchinson Financial Planning Ltd, Lloyds Banking Group, Concept Building Solutions, Navy Media, Ofgem, Baker & McKenzie LLP and St James’s Place Wealth Management.

The Career Academy is now seeking businesses interested in hiring students for summer internships.

HELLO
SPRING Local attractions for the new season.
_ NEWEST ARRIVALS
Nothing says spring like the arrival of baby animals so why not take a trip to Foxburrows Farm in Hainault Forest Country Park and meet the cute new arrivals. A visit to this all-weather petting farm is must for families looking for fun and cheap day out. Look out for farmyard favourites such as sheep, goats, chickens, ponies, pigs, ducks and geese as well as the cheeky meerkats! Entry to the farm is free but parking on site is £1 for the first hour or £3 all day. Take a journey on the Foxburrows Express. The land train takes passengers on a 15 minute ride from outside the farm all around the lake and surrounding areas during weekends. The train stop is located in the second car park close to the farm entrance. The route is not fixed and will vary year round according to the weather. If all this excitement hasn’t worn the kids (and you) out then head off into the forest in your wellies for another springtime adventure. Foxburrows Farm, Hainault Forest Country Park, Romford Road, Chigwell, www2. redbridge.gov.uk

The first buds are blooming, birds are busy building their nests and the days are getting longer. March is the time to dust off the cobwebs, get out into the great outdoors and sample what the local area has to offer. We have picked four attractions that we feel will brighten up your day.
ng Before we called it spri this season was known as Lent or Lenten.
_ GARDENER’S WORLD
The Gibberd Garden is an inspirational, Grade ll listed garden, full of beauty, peace and tranquillity, where every turn reveals another aspect or work of art. It was created by Sir Frederick Gibberd, an uncompromising Modernist architect and the master-planner of Harlow New Town, who acquired the site in 1957 and remodelled the house and garden, and from 1972 filled the grounds with sculptures, ceramic pots and architectural pieces. The garden has formal lawns, pools, streams and glades, a dramatic mature lime avenue, a brook-side walk with a waterfall, a wild garden with tangled paths
where children love to hide, a moated castle with drawbridge and a Barn Tearoom run by friendly volunteers – with cakes, ice creams and refreshments. The wooded areas of the garden provide the perfect opportunity to view swathes of daffodils and other spring flowers. The garden will be open on 1st March 11.30am-4pm, 15th March 2pm-5pm and from 1st April will be open every Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday Monday from 2pm-6pm. Entry is £4, or £3 for concessions and £1 for children aged 5 to 16. The Gibberd Garden, Marsh Lane, Harlow, Essex, CM17 0NA www.thegibberdgarden.co.uk
_ FLOWER POWER
Norpar has been established since 1969 starting out as a farm diversification business growing & drying flowers on the family run farm in Navestock. Whilst dried flowers were popular in the 1980’s and 1990’s the family regularly exhibited at the RHS shows in Westminster, London and it was in 2000 that they won a coveted gold medal for their dried flower display. As fashions have evolved, so has their quintessentially English business and now the Flower, Easter and Christmas Barns celebrate the changing seasons where the aim is to inspire and delight visitors with natural themes and affordable decorations for living in a modern country home and garden. The Easter Barn is a breath of fresh spring air after the cold winter months. Enter this haven of pretty seasonal Easter decorations, gifts, chocolates & entertaining ideas, displayed in pastels and bright colours against the whitewashed walls of the mediaeval barn. Unlike anywhere you will have been before, this unique experience will capture your creativity and inspire you to dress your home for spring! Alongside the Barns in the old farmyard is The Granary museum, an original farm building dating back to the 14th century. It now houses old farming and household implements collected from the farm’s bygone days and is open for all to see. They also have a few Simmential cows and a small group of guinea fowl and peacocks which can be seen roaming the grounds.
The first day of spring is called the Vernal Equinox , it th . falls on the 20 March
Winding down the country lane is the only way to reach this tranquil place and once discovered it will never be forgotten. Norpar Barns, Navestock Hall, Navestock, Romford, Essex, RM4 1HA, www.norpar.co.uk

Don’t let injuries get in the way of your marathon aspirations.
Sports Therapy specialise in sports injuries and are proud to announce we are the ONLY official London Marathon 2015 Sports Injury Clinic is Essex. We pride ourselves in helping you to achieve your goals, whatever they may be. So if you are training for a marathon or an event this year we want to help you! Most runners, novice or experienced, will face an injury or ‘niggle’ which may jeopardise their training programme. We have listed below the most common running injuries and have given you ‘selftreatment’ tips to help you along the way.
maintain your cardiovascular fitness. n Try adding some gel heel cups in all shoes for a couple of weeks to help reduce the stress to the painful area. Make sure you add one in each shoe. n Slowly return to jogging by following a jog/walk/jog/walk programme, ONLY once all symptoms have resolved.
3 CALF STRAIN
2 ITB SYNDROME
1 ACHILLES TENDINITIS
What is it? n Pain localised around the heel bone and/or along the Achilles tendon. n It can be painful on walking/jogging, then ease as time goes by and then reoccur after you have stopped. n It can look inflamed, warm to touch and visible redness around the Achilles tendon and on the heel bone. What to do? n Rest from running. n Walk with cushioned footwear do not walk about barefoot. n Apply ice to the area if it looks swollen, red or is warm to touch for 15 minutes at regular intervals. n Lightly stretch your calf muscles as long as this doesn’t cause pain. n Swim, cycle, X train, row (any activity which doesn’t cause pain) to
What is it? n Pain on the side of the knee during sitting, walking or jogging, may feel bruised. n Jogging at faster speeds or incline jogging may exacerbate the pain. n May be minimal swelling on the outside part of the knee. n The knee may feel very stiff if sitting or lying for a prolonged period of time. What to do? n Stretch your glute muscles and hip flexors. n Use a foam roller for the ITB region. n Ice the painful area on the side of the knee for 15 minutes at regular intervals. n Cease running distances which cause you pain i.e. if 3 mile runs are pain free, continue with this. If 4 mile runs causes the pain then stop these runs. n Make sure your trainers are the correct ones for you - have a gait analysis performed at a specialist running shop.
What is it? n Pain suddenly in the back of the leg during running or a gradual pain a few hours after a run. n Feels like a ‘bruised’ burning or dull pain. n The calf muscles feel tight and inflexible. n Visible bruising may appear depending on the severity of the strain. n May feel sore to walk and thus produce a limp. n May throb when sitting down or lying in bed. What to do? n Ice the affected area for 15 minutes every 2-3 hours using cling film to aid compression. Repeat this for 48 hours. n Cease any activity which causes pain. n Lightly stretch the calf muscles. n Use a foam roller gently around the targeted painful region. n Carefully commence calf raises off a step and partial lunges and squats when normal walking becomes pain free before you recommence any form of jogging. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice by a health professional.

anity Beauty lies in the heart of Barkingside High Street, it is an aesthetic and beauty lounge which creates a relaxing haven for beauty treatments such as laser hair removal and 3D Lipo, all of which are carried out by their fully trained staff and therapists. Vanity Beauty offers a friendly and high quality service which ensures “Harley Street treatments at High Street prices.” In November 2013, after extensive research, owner Gul Chahil, started offering 3D Lipo and 3D Skintech treatments in store. Vanity Beauty are the only place in Barkingside which offers these remarkable treatments and Gul is fully trained in both. 3D Lipo was invented by Roydon Cowley and in the past year has been introduced into beauty and aesthetic clinics around the world. 3D Lipo is one multitasking machine which provides four different procedures and Vanity Beauty uses the latest generation of technology. The first is Ultrasound Cavitation; a risk free alternative to liposuction, it is body sculpting at its finest and uses a low frequency ultrasound to produce a strong wave of pressure to fat cell membranes causing them to disintegrate into a liquid state which results in natural fat loss. Cryoliopolysis is another fat blasting method, better known as fat freezing the technology targets the water content of a fat cell to which the temperature of -6 degrees is applied which damages the fat cell and then it begins to break down naturally. After fat reduction, other procedures reduce cellulite and tighten skin: Radio Frequency Skin Tightening uses Focus Fractional RF energy which heats skin tissue and encourages new collagen fibres, making skin smoother, healthier and more youthful. Dermology uses a vacuum suction to drain depleted fat cells which results in cellulite

reduction. Results will be visible after three sessions, 3D Lipo can be used all over the body including stomach, legs, arms and waist. It is important to keep yourself well hydrated throughout the course of these treatments and avoid hot baths and showers. 3D Skintech is another revolutionary technology utilised by Vanity Beauty and it offers the most effective treatment for antiageing, pigmentation and acne. 3D Rotational Diamond Microdermabrasion gives the skin a smooth and fresh look, it’s encourages skin cell renewal and reduces pores using vacuum stimulation. The 3D Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Facial uses heat to encourage collagen fibres which makes skin appear healthy, smoother and younger looking, a course of 8 treatments is advised for best results. 3D LED Photo Rejuvenation, better known as light therapy, uses a variety of lights which are tailor made to your skin’s needs which helps with acne, pigmentation, cell regeneration and inflamed skin. Other treatments include a Vanity 3D Pamper Facial and a Vanity 3D Luxury Facial.

“Hair without a healthy scalp is like a tree without firm roots. ”
BEAUTY
REPAIR YOUR
HAIR
Do you worry about your hair thinning? DERMA RENEW
R
esearch shows that a regular program of scalp maintenance is an important step towards attaining your full hair potential so, I’d like to introduce you to Nioxin for men and women. The reason for hair loss is all in the scalp and the root. Hair without a healthy scalp is like a tree without firm roots - insecure, susceptible to breakage and unable to take in the nutrients it needs to grow properly. Inspired by advanced skincare, each of the 5 Therapies combine Nioxin’s 3 step cleanse, optimise and treat approach with a rebalancing massage to stimulate and nourish the scalp. We offer a free consultation at Finesse Hair & Beauty if you are unsure what treatment is best for you.
A facial for your scalp. It removes dead skin cells and excess sebum to renew scalp skin and provide the perfect foundation for thicker, fuller, stronger hair. Acting like a facial for the scalp, this anti-aging treatment uses dermabrasion technology to help regenerate and revitalise scalp surface skin through exfoliation. How it works? Gently exfoliates the scalp, removing build-up around hair follicles. Helps accelerate skin surface regeneration by up to 34% compared to untreated skin.
DIAMETER BOOST
A leave-in treatment, which increases the diameter of your hair instantly and thickens hair from the roots, so that it feels as if you have 11,000 more hairs on your head. How it works? A combination of HTX, a fusion of Niacinamide, Panthenol and Caffeine, is proven to achieve thicker hair.
DENSITY REVIVE
An intensive leave-on booster treatment, designed to boost the resistance of fragile hair and protect the cuticle against damage. For any specific area of concern, such as a receding hairline or thinning crown. How it works? The ultra-concentrated formula, with
CoZyme-10® Vitamin Complex, targets areas of advanced thin-looking hair such as the hairline or crown. Keratin helps protect against cuticle damage and boost fragile hair.
DENSITY REPAIR
A deep repair mask that strengthens the hair shaft against damage and reduces hair breakage, so hair feels healthy and deeply repaired. How it works? Intense, lightweight conditioning agents target damaged, dry or color-treated hair, helping to provide protection by strengthening the hair shaft against damage, which reduces breakage.
DENSITY PROTECT
Reduces breakage and restores a dense and vibrant appearance to your hair, so it shines with renewed health. How it works? Density Protection contains Crystalline Infusion that provides significant antibreakage action following your Dermabrasion Treatment. By Amanda Anastasiou owner of Finesse Hair & Beauty in Chingford.

CHIC LIVING
Add the finishing touches to your home with Complete Home Interiors.
W
ith spring around the corner home interiors will be at the forefront of many people’s minds. With such a diverse range of products available, it can be hard to choose. Whether you’re planning a full overhaul or looking for that small something that will complete your living space, here’s a few ideas on what we feel will be on trend in 2015, there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes.
QUIRKY COLOUR IS COOL
One-off pieces designed with current interior trends in mind, that special something that will give the wow factor when you walk into a room. These can be large or small items, such as

Add a 70’s vibe with a mustard cosy chair
Plantation Shutters
HOME GARDEN Leaner Mirrors
&
For more modern tastes, animal prints are absolutely on trend, the owl is the current flavour of the month. With a wide range of quirky colours and designs available this can be a quick fix way to add something to your living/ sleeping areas.
MIRRORS CAN DO THE TRICK
furniture in classic English and French designs, these styles produce that vintage, shabby chic look. But also think about these pieces in modern colour ways such as greys, blues and teals. These one-off pieces of furniture sit well in either a contemporary or classic setting, giving the room that lift it has been looking for. Whether it’s a new side board, chest of drawers or storage unit, vintage style with a modern twist is where it’s at. Modern/mid-century elements will definitely be on trend, a throwback to modern design elements of the 1950s through the 1970s. So that couch you saw on that 1970s family sitcom is officially trendy today. Whilst this trend will be popular, homeowners should be careful when integrating these styles into their homes, as the trend is great for inspiration and accent pieces, but shouldn’t take over the house. Consequently, we think these are the best, subtle ways to bring the 1970s to life in your home - a nice mustard or purple accent cosy chair; colourful glassware - vases, smoked glass
“Vintage style with a modern twist is where it’s at” decanters; or colourful soft furnishings. A simple cushion/throw with the right design can add that splash of colour your room has been craving. They are a great way to add colour and lift a room without breaking the bank. For a quick colour tip, surprisingly the mix of Egyptian blue, burnt orange, and white work really well together.
Using mirrors to create a sense of space is a trick interior designers have been using for years, and their use in decorating is making a big comeback. Mirrors help to give a sense of greater space by reflecting light, thus brightening a room and the reflection of the room also fools the eye into feeling there is a greater amount of space than in reality.
“Mirrors help to give a sense of greater space by reflecting light, thus brightening a room” There is a vast range of diverse, individually designed mirrors on the market today proving very popular for people wanting to make a real statement in their living spaces. Large leaner mirrors are great in all areas of the home, and if you want just a touch of mid-century sparkle, a funky mirror is the way to go.
SHUTTERLY FABULOUS
By far the most popular, current trend is made to measure plantation shutters, with their good looks and versatility shutters are effortlessly chic. They have many plus points including privacy, light control, sound and draught proofing whilst making a laid back style statement. With an inspired choice of chic and contemporary styles, shapes and finishes they really add an exciting dimension to any scheme. So whether you enjoy contemporary modern living, have a period home or a cool city pad plantation shutters are the window dressing of choice for 2015.

GARDENING
WILDLIFE WATCH
The first solitary bees can be seen this month. There are more than 200 species of solitary bees in Britain. They are named solitary bees because, unlike honeybees and bumblebees, they do not live in colonies. Some solitary bees make their nests in hollow plant stems and soft rotten wood.
WITH VICTORIA ROBERTSON
A seasonal guide to help you get the most out of your garden.
T
his gardening month of March will bring many days filled with unpredictable weather. There may be rain, strong winds and milder days too. Try not to be seedling shy, instead be brave and open up a packet of seeds to sow. Be sure to have a fleece handy to cover up your vulnerable plants should you hear of an overnight frost. Primula vulgaris can now be seen in full bloom. These wild flowers are pale yellow with a deep yellow centre. Pulmonaria are also in flower, they can be planted in the shade or under trees and shrubs. They come in colours of blue, white and pink. Now is the time to begin removing moss and weeds from your paths and driveways. This may seem like a boring task but by doing it now it will make light work later on. Look out for special
offer deals on plug plants because now is the perfect time to order them. You don’t even need a greenhouse to grow them on. Just a sunny back bedroom or kitchen windowsill will be fine.
Plug plant
PLUG PLANTS
_ As soon as you receive plug plants through the post you should pot them up immediately. _ If you have to delay for a few day’s keep them in a cool, bright and well ventilated place. _ Soak the plug tray in water for at least 10 minutes before planting, this will soften the compost. _ Plant the plug plants individually into 5cm pots using multi-purpose
compost and place a few slow release into the soil too. If you decide to use trays leave a 5cm spacing between each plug plant to allow for growth. _ Simply make a hole in the compost slightly larger than the plug plant and place them in the soil gently. Then firm the compost around the roots. _ Place your potted plants into a greenhouse or conservatory if you have one. If not a windowsill will do. Keep them well watered. _ Once your plants are full grown you will need to prepare them for at least a week before outdoor planting. Place the plant outside still in the pots or trays during the day and cover them with fleece overnight. _ Only plant them into their permanent position once the threat of frost has passed. By Victoria Robertson, Epping Horticultural Society.
Black Spot
PESTS AND DISEASE
Black spot is a very serious disease of roses. It is caused by a fungus called Diplocarpon rosae, which infects the leaves. If you notice it, you can create a mix using 3 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar to 5 litres of water. Spray the infected leaves, bottoms of the leaves, stems and canes. Also, spray the soil near the plant to kill any Black Spot fungus that may be lingering in the soil from previous dead leaves or water applications. Apply early morning or early evening once a day until the Black Spot is eliminated.

PARENTING
HOW SAFE ARE YOUR LITTLE ONES? This month we are looking at the mind field that is car seat safety. With constant research and improvements in car seats how do we tell which car seat is safe and when an old seat has passed its ‘Best Before’ date. By Becky Elliott
“One of the biggest changes to hit the UK is the introduction of Rear Facing seats.”
T
he law requires all children travelling in any car or van to use a correctly fitted child car seat until they are either 135 cm tall or 12 years old (which ever they reach first). There are very few exceptions but really when we are talking about our children’s lives then really no exception is a good enough exception.
5 X SAFER!
One of the biggest changes to hit the UK is the introduction of Rear Facing seats. We know now that Forward facing child car seats subject the neck and head to considerable strain as children’s heads are disproportionately heavy, their backs and neck vertebra are under-developed and their reflexes and ability to react are poor. If a child is sitting forward facing in a collision its head will be thrown violently forwards, subjecting the neck and head to considerable strain where as if the child’s seat is rear facing, the shell of the chair will form
54
a protective shield and absorb the shock. Crash tests show that compared to forward facing seats, the pressure exerted on the neck is 5 times lower for rear facing child car seats. These are the reasons why all baby seats (group 0+) are only designed for rear facing use. The new iSize regulations came in to effect in the Nursery Industry in July 2013 and will in time replace the existing regulations. One of the key changes was that all children will need to be rear facing until the age of 18months whilst most manufacturers and indeed, crash test experts would encourage this limit to be until the age of 4 years. I can hear all the cries of protest about little Johnnies legs, or him getting bored or you not being able to see him and trust me these probably echo the cries our mums all made when wearing seat belts became law back in the early eighties. Let me allay some of your hesitations. Simply remove the headrest from the rear seat where little Johnny is sitting and he then has an amazing

panoramic view out the back window rather than looking at the back of your head getting even more frustrated because you’re not turning round to talk to him. As for those little leggies, there hasn’t been any reported cases of permanent leg injuries to a child using a rear facing seat which sadly can’t be said for head or spinal injuries and whilst I never want to see any child injured I’d take a broken leg over any of the other possibilities. So finally that ‘Best Before’ date, to me this is a simple one. If the seat does not tick all of the boxes to ensure your child is as safe as possible or has been involved in any impacts then it’s time for a change. A good child safety seat will cost less than a £1 a day and we all know that our bubbas are priceless. For more information on car seat safety please go to www.carseat.co.uk.

DAD’S DIARY
In Partnership with
ENTERING FATHERHOOD
WITHOUT A MAP A
s the weather has started to get a little sunnier this month, we decided it was time for a day at the seaside. As soon as we arrived in Clacton we headed down to the pier for a go on the amusements and immediately saw the mechanical horses plus some flying elephants, I got my 20p ready and strolled over with the young lad clutching my hand “One quid?! Are they having a laugh?!?!” my screams echoed throughout the pier as worried mothers shielded their children’s ears. Never the less, it’s want he wanted, so I pulled out a few quid and stuck a pound on Dumbo (sounds like the worst bet ever). He gently circled round for 20, maybe even 30 seconds, before stopping and asking for another pound. This plastic elephant was nothing but a hustler and clearly making more money than all the hard working people of Clacton combined “More, more!” he looked at me sympathetically, yet I was already £12 down and we had only just arrived. I needed something cheap, something for... 2p! We ushered him towards the 2p machines inside the arcade and changed up a couple of quid in 2p’s, showed him how to play the game, and he was hooked. I was then involved in the quickest theft I’ve even seen, as he snatched the tub of 2p’s in a blur, and proceeded to accurately time their drop into the machine... and start winning! The lady and I watched him, mesmerised, whilst he tip toed up on the raised platform, left arm clutching his tub of money and right hand poised skilfully above the drop zone. The money started to flow out and we looked on a little enviously in truth, what happened
56
next was astonishing. Whilst standing up on tip toes he lost his footing and fell, not a big drop but enough for me to bend down and help him, yet without making a sound he simply grabbed clutches of his scattered 2p’s, threw them back into his tub, checked the money tray for any winnings that may have dropped down (during his 5 second absence) and proceeded to launch more money in. At that stage we became a bit concerned at the hypnotic effect the lights seemed to be having on him, whilst poor lonely Dumbo was outside being rained upon. I considered calling gamblers anonymous, then realised that I’d probably be asked
“I was then involved in the quickest theft I’ve even seen”
for his age “He’s nearly two years old,” would not make me look like the best parent. Instead I decided we had to pull him away physically and I clutched him around the waist, he immediately held onto the machine with both hands and starting yelling “Noooooo!” At this point his mum picked up the tub of 2p’s and started walking towards the door, within a split second he had released his grip and began sprinting towards the money. After that we headed down to the beach itself, happily posing for a picture whilst a wave came crashing in around my ankles, soaking my trainers for the long journey home. We then collected some shells and my jacket pockets ended up dragging along the floor as the boy proceeded to stuff half the beach into them.
I decided to head back inside for a bit of warmth and strolled past a machine that pays out in tickets, “Sure, let’s get paid in tickets... I’m sure supermarkets and petrol stations will look at me kindly when I come to pay for my goods with these.” Pushing the sarcasm to one side I decided to throw another pound away and pressed the ‘start’ button. With that a small basketball launched up inside this big container and came crashing back down into a revolving disc at the bottom, I was so tired I hadn’t really paid attention to this game but I was now transfixed. On the disc where different numbers, each saying how many tickets I could win, and incredibly the ball finally decided to fall into the top slot... 500 tickets! I sprinted across to the cashier desk where all the prizes were, trying hard not to look so smug after my big win. I then glanced up at the board to see what I could reimburse so many tickets for, perhaps a car, or a holiday to New York, yet my dreams were agonisingly crushed when it became apparent the only thing I could get for 500 tickets was a large inflatable banana (I kid you not). Even the novelty key rings started at 650. I turned down to the boy who was wide eyed looking at all the prizes, and before I’d even had the chance to say “This poxy arcade has fleeced your dad kiddo, it started with Dumbo and its finished with this 17 year old cashier,” he started asking for “nana, nana” I looked around for my mum then realised he was pointing at the inflatable banana! I happily reimbursed my tickets and handed him a banana that dwarfed him in height, he was delighted and it rounded off a very memorable day. ...TO BE CONTINUED

CLUB FOCUS
NEWBURY
FOREST FC I
By Devon-Elizabeth Tabersham
n 2003 John Hassan and Marc Wakley founded Newbury Forest FC as a way for a group of friends to play Sunday football and it has since flourished into a club with eight teams both junior and senior. The adult first team was the beginning of Newbury Forest FC and by 2007 they had created their second and third team. The first team plays in the Premier Division of the Essex Olympian Football League and won the Essex Saturday Premier Cup last year under the keen training of manager, Leo Connolly. The U21 team plays in the U21 Essex Olympian Football League and their Sunday First Team plays in Division One of the Independent South Essex Sunday Football League. Chairman John Hassan holds a UEFA A Licence and works hard in coaching the team as well as encouraging them to play to their highest ability. Ron Dangerfield is the Club Secretary at Newbury Forest FC and he runs the club alongside Leo Connolly, First Team Manager/Academy Director and Michael Benn, Treasurer/Youth Secretary. In 2007, the Newbury Forest Colts were created and to this day there are five teams, from U8 to U15, ages 10-15 compete in the Echo Junior Football League. Newbury Forest are currently looking to create an U6 team to be able to make squads at
58
all ages. Youth teams train at the Newbury Forest Academy on Saturdays and are coached by qualified coaches who also play for the current senior teams. Newbury Forest FC play at London Playing Fields on Forest Road, due to the club’s inviting and nurturing values, there is “a really great atmosphere at the club generally”. Match days create a keen and competitive environment which elevates gameplay, especially when they play their rivals Manford Way, with whom they share a clubhouse, which gets a lot of people down to watch and enjoy the match. Newbury Forest FC are an incredibly inclusive club, as mentioned before they want all ages to be involved with Newbury Forest Colts and they are hoping to soon start a vets team, as well as women and girls teams. Ron Dangerfield says, “We have a policy of ‘football for all’. Our vision and strategy has always been to be able to provide football for all people, regardless of gender, ability or health.” The club is, “always looking for additional players at every age group, the more the better.” Looking ahead, Newbury Forest FC are aiming to get their First Team as high up on the National League system as their ability will take them and they hope to be able to secure their very own venue for a home ground.
