Tiz' two weeks after Christmas

How many of us have already broken our new years resolutions, or even decided that this year you were never going to try and make a resolution again. Well I still do make resolutions, both personal goals and for work. I think it is a good time to re-prioritise and raise the bar, one of my personal goal is to start running again, believe it or not I used to run marathons. Well I have competed and completed two back in 2000 and 2001. I have decided to go for the big one, so say the hardest marathon in the UK, The Snowdonia Marathon.

My aim in Bathampton is to raise the bar higher, we are looking into the spring term and beginning to think about summer and the summer holidays.

Just to start with we have finally come up with a name, well that is for our Wednesday night Youth Club, from now on it will be called Potassium, Oxygen, Sulphur, or the abbreviated version is K-OS and if you say it right you come up with chaos. I know I really am that clever!!!! We are pushing the monthly specials at K-OS, we already have had a pottery eventing, and for January we are going to do another special, with Burns night on the 25th Jan, we are going to and a Burns Night Special on the 28th Jan, even with a dressing of the Haggis being do by a true Scot, it comes complete with neeps and tatties, one not to miss! Other specials are going to include drama, fashion, craft, conservation, and Scalextric.

We are also looking at a Valentines Dinner and Dance, another Open Mic Night, another Pizza and Quiz Evening (Easter Special), Half Term Madness, A CY Course, hopefully a weekly Sign Language course, An Easter Labyrinth, A Unilevers Evening and a beatbox. More information to follow.

Just to go back to the Christmas Holidays, the adventure golf was a great success, not too sure about the score averages, but they ranged from 53 (course par is 54) to over 200. The back nine let me down, after the first nine I was at 33 strokes, but the course got harder and my score ended at a disappointing 82. more practice needed I think.

Finally just to wish you a great 2009. Jon
