    Originator: Martin Farrington Tel: 2243816 Report of The Director of City Development Meeting: Inner South Leeds Area Committee Date: 8th October 2008 Subject: Consultation on the Draft Vision for Leisure Centres in Leeds Electoral W ards Affected: Specific Implications For: Middleton Park Beeston & Holbeck Equality and Diversity Community Cohesion Ward Members consulted Narrowing the Gap (referred to in report) Council Delegated Executive x Delegated Executive Function Function available Function not available for for Call In Call In Details set out in the report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 Purpose of this report 1.1 This report seeks to inform Area Committee members of the Draft Vision for Leisure Centres presented to Executive Board on the 2nd September 2008, which is now subject to consultation. As part of the consultation process, members of the Area Committee are asked to consider the draft proposals presented and to provide feedback on the proposals that affect their area. 2.0 Main Points 2.1 On the 2nd September 2008, the Council’s Executive Board received a report outlining a draft vision for the Council’s Leisure Centres (Appendix 2). The report outlined the aspiration by the Council to improve the quality of its Leisure Centre provision, but also recognised the increased costs associated with operation of the service, significant investment challenges and the unstable nature of the existing budget position. 2.2 In addition, the report also identified an over supply of swimming pool facilities in the City. 2.3 Whilst recognising the challenges that the service faces the Executive Board report proposes a draft vision for the future provision of Council Leisure Centres to help achieve the Council’s improvement priority to enable more people to become involved in sport and culture by providing better quality facilities and activities.

  • Knowing Bradford This Pack Has Been Developed to Support the ‘Knowing Bradford’ Project
    Activity Pack – Knowing Bradford This pack has been developed to support the ‘Knowing Bradford’ project. It will help students to explore the history of Bradford places and people. Introduction The script of people and places in Bradford merely scratches the surface of the city’s past and locations important to its history and heritage. There is a lot more that students could explore. The ideas presented here are examples of follow-up activities that will reinforce learning, understanding, awareness, and develop research, literacy, oracy and presentation skills. They can be mixed and matched depending on student levels. They have been divided into subject areas, although most are related to more than one curriculum area, e.g.: historical research includes reading and concentration skills, and may lead to writing, art, design activities, etc. Maths is also integral to many of the activities. Each scene could be performed individually by students to recap knowledge before choosing follow-up activities related to those scenes. This Activity Pack relates to the Teaching Activity - Knowing Bradford: How can buildings tell a story? Website: HistoricEngland.org.uk/Education Email:[email protected] Activity Pack – Knowing Bradford Introduction: Town Crier Suggested activities and related web links © The Trustees of the British Museum, released as CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1935-0522-13-4 Follow-up Activities These suggested activities relate to the Introduction and the Town Crier, in the Knowing Bradford play, developed as part of the ‘Knowing Bradford’ project. The list of web links provided will help teachers and students to answer the questions raised and complete the suggested activities.

  • Lynsey De Paul
    2 don’t understand why so many people are angry with the recent iTunes promotion of U2’s new album. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying this because I am a fan of the band, or because I think it is a remarkable record. It’s not, and I’m not. The band have made much better records in the past, and they have made considerably worse ones. That isn’t the issue. There have been times in my life when I have been quite impressed with the band’s output, although I would never have called myself a true blue fan. But that isn’t the issue either. The issue is why are so many people incensed by the fact that iTunes paid the band an undisclosed sum (said to be in the multiple millions) to send a copy of the record to everybody who had an iTunes account on the day in question? Those beneficiaries included Dear Friends, me, by the way – twice. Welcome to another issue of Gonzo Weekly The album can be removed from your playlists magazine. For the first time in quite a few with a couple of clicks of a mouse, and although issues, our own life has quietened down I believe it is slightly more complicated if you somewhat; Weird Weekends have come and have an iPhone, I truly don’t think it is going to gone, grand-daughters have been born, and we be that much of an issue. are back in the relative safety of our own little sanctum in North Devon.

  • 11/3/2019 Hawkwind on Television and Film File:///C:/Users/Stephen
    11/3/2019 Hawkwind on television and film Do Not Panic - Film & Television List - DVD Trading ------ Galleries: Albums - Tickets - Programmes - DVD Artwork THE HAWKWIND ALBUMS There is no shortage of Hawkwind material on CD - official, semi-official & bootlegs of studio and live sessions. Not to mention countless compilations and repackaged discs which look exciting but turn out to be Wembley 1973 again. Here is my take on the major 'Official' releases followed by a collection of live CDs. You can pretty much ignore the rest - I don't know who advised Hawkwind that such wide-scale licensing was a good idea but it has devalued the core catalogue and made it difficult for new fans to know where to start. some of it is so dire it has probably deterred many who would otherwise have got into the quality we all know is there. 14 August 1970 - Hawkwind - 1st album released Hurry On Sundown / The Reason Is? / Be Yourself / Paranoia (part 1) / Paranoia (part 2) / Seeing It As You Really Are / Mirror Of Illusion Dave Brock - John Harrison - Nik Turner - Terry Ollis - Dik Mik - Huw Lloyd Langton - Mick Slattery 8 October 1971- In Search of Space - 2nd album released You Shouldn't Do That / You Know You're Only Dreaming / Master Of The Universe / We Took the Wrong Step Years Ago / Adjust Me / Children Of The Sun Nik Turner - Dave Brock - Dave Anderson - Del Dettmar - Terry Ollis - Dik Mik 24 November 1972 - Doremi Fasol Latido - 3rd album released Brainstorm / Space Is Deep / One Change / Lord Of Light / Down Through The Night / Time We Left This World Today / The Watcher Dave Brock - Nik Turner - Lemmy - Dik Mik - Del Dettmar - Simon King 11 May 1973 - Space Ritual Alive - 4th album released Earth Calling / Born To Go / Down Through The Night / The Awakening / Lord Of Light / The Black Corridor / Space Is Deep / Electronic No.

  • BBG Bulletin Issue 19
    ISSUE 19 28th April 2017 At the start of the Easter holidays 37 students from years 10 and 11 set off to explore the delights of Germany’s capital city. The trip got off to a rather stressful start thanks to both the M62 and M60 being closed; thankfully it didn’t cause too many problems as it was so early in the morning. We arrived in Berlin at lunchtime and were met by Nikolai, our tour guide for the rest of the day. After checking in to the hotel we embarked on a four hour walking tour of the main sights and learnt about the history of the capital from the 18th century, the first world war, the glorious 20s, the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party and Berlin as a divided city. Our first day finished off with a meal in an Italian restaurant; I was very proud of all the students for ordering all of their food in German. ISSUESunday 18 started off with a visit to the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining strip of the Berlin Wall, which 7thhasAprilbeen 2017painted by artists from around the world. Next up was a guided tour at the ‘Topography of terror’ where students learned of the terrifying role of the Gestapo and SS. I was very impressed by the sensible questions our students asked the guides and I think they really learned a great deal. After such a sombre visit we were in need of a bit of retail therapy so we headed off to the shopping centre at Potsdamer Platz.
