Wednesday night saw the AGM of LourdsFC the local junior football club young john plays for, this club is now 2 years old and growing fast, 16 teams of youngsters in all age groups up to 16 years old.

This club is going for charter standard registration this year, a lot of work still to be done in the next six months but with a great team of volunteers I am sure it will achieve the goals set. Over the holiday period I will be working on a web site for the club to provide a central easy access news and fixtures area. My sponsorship of the under 14s team will see them with a full strip for playing competitive games for the new year.

Presentation evening at Bolton Wanderers Football Club was a great night for the children who like young john had been attending out of school extra education over the last 10 weeks, this scheme run in conjunction with the local council is very popular. About 200 children from all over

The school trip to the pantomime went well with 64 children enjoying Dick Whittington at the Lowery centre Salford, a great day out with a packed lunch, no incidents to mar the day and returned back to school by three pm.

Young John had bought a stress ball in the theatre shop, on the way home in the car he decided to see what it tasted of just as we hit a bump in the road, well I nearly had an accident laughing, his teeth had punctured the skin resulting in a gush of green slime covering him instantly, just a shame I hadn’t got a camera running the look of shock as green slime driped from his chin was a site to behold, after he finished laughing he told me it tasted of lemonade. Thank goodness the stuff was none toxic.

The school Christmas fair was a great success we work it so the children have at least half an hour to work the stalls before we let the adults in, this gives the children a chance to pick up Christmas presents if they want as a surprise for mum and dad. By the end virtually everything was gone once again razing a good sum for the school.

After that lot I could do with a rest J not much chance as we move into the last week of school before the holidays, oh well back to the grind till next time John
