South Gloucestershire and Stroud College

17/7/2014

 
Debbie went to the South Gloucestershire and Stroud College Prize Day, where she met with Jenny Jones, Winter Olympic Bonze medal winner for the snowboard. She had been invited by fellow Chalford Councillor Chas Fellows, who is an Honorary Fellow of the College

South Gloucestershire and Stroud College is in the top 10% of all Further Education Colleges in Britain and get fantastic educational and sporting results.

The merger between Stroud College and Filton College last year to form the South Gloucestershire and Stroud College on a firm financial footing offering more courses across both campuses
The stories from the students who have won prizes are humbling, some have achieved so much with such huge obstacles

It was such a lovely day, with amazing entertainment from Performing Arts students"

Stratford Park

17/7/2014

 
The Society of Model Engineers runs a miniature train each 4th Sunday of the month in Stratford Park during the summer months. Debbie was invited to the 1st running of the train this June, as well as getting a ride on the train, Debbie also went to see the tree that fell across the railway during December.

Concerns have been raised over the safety of the tree and whether it would cause a flood risk over the Painswick Brook. Discussions with the District Council had stalled and Debbie advised that the best method of getting a straight answer was to put questions to the Leader of the Council, that was done tonight where a Chalford resident sought clarification as to the safety and the likelihood of flooding of the tree trunk.

Cheltenham Cricket Festival

17/7/2014

 
Debbie went with Severn View Primary Academy to the Cheltenham Cricket Festival to watch Gloucestershire take on Derbyshire. The tickets were kindly provided by Gloucestershire Cricket Board and as well as watching the cricket there was a whole range of activities to keep the children occupied. From tips on catching techniques on the outfield during the lunch break to seeing how fast they can bowl, plus an activity pack the children had a full day of cricket
"There is one thing I learned, and that is I will never make a bowler"
said Debbie, after her try on the bowling speed game. A score of 25.8 mph, does not look good against the average fast bowler who bowls in excess of 85mph or even a spinner of 50 mph
