| We
also need people who will run short courses/events/activities
with the young people on club nights as well as people to help
out on the club nights perhaps helping with the refreshments preparation
or joining in a game.
Conversations have taken place with a number of organisations
about possible grants for the club to help buy equipment and
generally set the whole thing up. Conversations have also taken
place with representatives of organisations, which will give
advice and help, to which the club might affiliate.
They will help in obtaining of CRB clearance, which will be
a requirement for adults involved with the club. CRB clearance
is in the main quite painless and free.
The Parish Plan survey of last year made it clear that people
thought that there was insufficient provision made within the
parish for the 11 to 14 and the 15+ age groups.
According to the updated information from the 2001 Census there
are around 555 people of this age group within LFE. Because
there is a club meeting in the parish hall on a Monday evening
for 13+ youngsters we decided to make provision for the younger
age group of 11 to 13 years (school years 6 to 8).
I am very keen to hear from young people in the 11 to 13 age
group to find out what they think about a club for them. What
would they like the club to do for them and what would they
do for the club? What equipment would they like to see there?
Perhaps club members would like to be part of the organisation
had have a place on the committee.
Please make contact on lfeypcinfo@tiscali.co.uk with your ideas
and comments.
Finally, at the moment we do have a place to meet but no games
or activities. If you have some equipment that you would be
willing to donate to us such as a table tennis table, snooker
table of nearly full size, board games with almost all their
equipment there then again please get in touch with me.
