Omokoroa Omelette 2 September 2017 Omokoroa Omelette 3 September 2017 Run Faster, Jump Higher & Throw Further by Ali Lawrence The summer season of the Omokoroa Athletics Club kicks off on Wednesday 25th October with our opening night starting at 5:15pm at the Western Ave Sports Ground, Omokoroa. There will be games, a free sausage sizzle and lots of fun. At Omokoroa Athletics Club we provide track and field events for 5 to 14-year-olds, encouraging children to set their own benchmarks for personal achievements. For the Minis (2 to 4-year-olds) we have a fun filled 40-minute session with children and their parents. The Club meets every Wednesday at 5:15pm. Children do a rotation of events from running to shot put, discus and the long jump. Afterwards, a sausage sizzle and juicies are available for purchase. Each week children get the opportunity to gain points which accumulate towards the end of season trophies. These are awarded to the overall winner of each age group. We have ribbons nights where each child has the chance to win ribbons for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place, for each activity. Over the Athletics season, there are regular events such as; the Jennings Cup and Colgate Games which give our club the opportunity to compete with other teams within our region and countrywide. Not only will kids become better athletes but they will improve their skills in other sports as well. We are a voluntary organisation with a dedicated committee and amazing parents that help every week to make sure our children get the best opportunities to improve their athletic skills. So, come along on Weds 25th October to see what we have to offer and you can go to: www.omokoroa.net/athletics to register online today. Opening Night We kick off the summer season on Wednesday 25th October with our opening night at 5:15pm at the Western Ave Sports Ground, Omokoroa.

Rex Whistler - Reversible Face Scotsman & Englishman Omokoroa Omelette 4 September 2017 Looking for fun summer activities for your kids? byproduct... Help Raise Money for New Sports Pavilion By Simone Rose Last year’s Omokoroa Coastal Challenge raised $6,800 which was donated towards the building of a new Sports Pavilion in Western Ave, Omokoroa. As this would benefit such a large proportion of the Western Bay community, we are again donating all funds from this not-for- profit event to a new pavilion. However, this year we are aiming for $10,000! Register today at: www.runrunrun.co.nz to support your community and help achieve this goal. The Omokoroa Athletics Club is one of the many local groups who will benefit from a new and improved Sports Pavilion. Athletics is such an iconic kiwi hobby, which provides fun for a huge cross section of ages and abilities. The Omokoroa club is for boys and girls aged 2-13 years and meet every Wednesday at 5:15-6pm throughout the 4th and 1st terms of each school year (this year kicking off on 25th Oct). Speaking from personal experience after having been involved last season with my 3 boys, it’s a fun and social atmosphere for both kids and parents. Stay afterwards for their weekly sausage sizzle and it means dinner for the kids is taken care of too! Kids participate in all the traditional activities like running races, long jump, high jump, shot put, discus and cricket ball throw. Some children go on to represent the club at regional interclub meets. The minis program is tailored to the 2-4-year olds with fun, age appropriate activities that develop motor skills and include events like throwing foam javelins, obstacle courses, throwing bean bags into buckets, hula hoops, kicking goals, sack races and more. Club members are strong with 120 children competing last year. About 40 of those were in the minis program and the rest aged 5-13 years. Children come from Omokoroa, Pahoia, Whakamarama, Te Puna, Bethlehem, Aongatete & Katikati. Alastair Ussher, an athletics committee member commented, “we are a really good community club: we rely on parents to help the committee to supervise groups and run the events. Parents of the minis help out with their own children. It means that it’s a really good way to meet other families”. Alastair’s 2 sons, Benjamin aged 8 who attends Pahoia school and Isaac aged 4 who attends Whakamarama Kindergarten are keen athletics members. Alastair’s community spirit and admirable goal to, “try to get the boys and myself to take advantage of as many sports clubs and activities as we can manage”, means his family is tackling the Omokoroa Coastal Challenge. Encourage a love of sport in your own kids by getting them involved in fun activities like athletics and the Coastal Challenge. Register them today for our 2km fun run at: www.runrunrun.co.nz . Or show real community spirit like Alastair, who will not only be running the 2km event with his kids, but has also registered to compete in the 10km run afterwards.

  • English Studies in Spain
    Credits This volume brings together the papers delivered at the XXXVI International Conference of AEDEAN (Asociación Española de Estudios Anglo-Norteamericanos), that was held at the University of Málaga (Spain) from 14th to 16th November 2012. The Editors would like to express their gratitude to a number of institutions and individuals for their support, work and assistance as we put together the e-book. First, we would like to thank the members of the Department of English, French and German Philology (University of Málaga) for their enthusiasm, energy and advice before, during and after the Conference. Without them, this volume would not have seen the light of day. Second, we would like to thank the Board of the Spanish Association for English and American Studies (AEDEAN) for their encouragement, patience and support. Despite our delay in completing the volume, they have always supplied much-needed moral assistance, and have shown faith in our work. The proceedings include three keynotes, delivered by Dr. Patricia Duncker (University of Manchester), Dr. Julia Lavid (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), and Dr. Andrew Monnickendam (Universidad Autònoma de Barcelona). We have structured the e-book in three sections: Literature, Linguistics and Round tables and workshops. Following the lead of Sara Martín Alegre et al’s At a Time of Crisis: English and American Studies in Spain (2012), we strongly believe that the ebook will contribute to the visibility of the academic work in Spain and abroad. The outstanding quality of the papers included in this volume proves that English and American Studies in Spain is a fruitful academic field, and we are confident that it will remain so despite the difficulties that the humanities, and research in general, are facing these days.
