With this in mind, I must thank all those that have contributed to this success not only in 2015, but over the ten year period that was recently celebrated in London with Sir Peter Harrison and special guests at the Hospital Club in Convent Garden. It was a memorable evening which deservedly highlighted the achievements that our colleagues both within the Centre and Worldwide had made through a video montage and selection of speeches. Hearing the comments about the Centre's activities from others outside of the University affirm that we have an International reputation for excellence in 'Disability sports, physical activity and wellbeing'. I am proud of what we have achieved and I am particularly excited with the prospects of what lies ahead in 2016 as we move into a Paralympic Games year.

  • Aug 02Nd Bible Reading: Isaiah 61
    The Benefice of Upper Wensleydale Trinity 8 Edition 20 ‘Church in the Home’ Sunday August 02nd– Saturday August 08th From the Vicarage The word ‘Praise’ appears hundreds of times in the Bible and we read of the call to praise God throughout its pages. The psalmists praised God in the good times and in the bad. Praise is certainly about thanking God for all he has done, is doing and will do, but it goes deeper than that. Praise is about declaring the truth of who God is and rejoicing in that knowledge and that is something that we are all called to do. Paul reminds us that praising God changes us. Philippians 4:4-7 It recalibrates the way we look at the world, changes our experience of it and our ministry within it. As we return to our buildings this Sunday for public worship for the first time in 20 weeks, there is much to praise God for. Some things, however, will be a little different as we manage the space and the way we do things; e.g. restrictions on us singing and sharing the chalice in communion, but I’m sure that our ability and desire to gather together to praise God as community will override all of these issues. I am extremely grateful to the teams of folks who have worked so hard in preparing the buildings on your behalf to ensure that they are clean and safe. In recognition of this Visit Britain have awarded us with the ‘We’re Good to Go’ accreditation Sadly, our family services will have to continue on line for a little while longer as the resources and materials that we use in our times together have had to be removed.

  • 703 Prelims.P65
    Football in France Global Sport Cultures Eds Gary Armstrong, Brunel University, Richard Giulianotti, University of Aberdeen, and David Andrews, The University of Maryland From the Olympics and the World Cup to extreme sports and kabaddi, the social significance of sport at both global and local levels has become increasingly clear in recent years. The contested nature of identity is widely addressed in the social sciences, but sport as a particularly revealing site of such contestation, in both industrialising and post-industrial nations, has been less fruitfully explored. Further, sport and sporting corporations are increasingly powerful players in the world economy. Sport is now central to the social and technological development of mass media, notably in telecommunications and digital television. It is also a crucial medium through which specific populations and political elites communicate and interact with each other on a global stage. Berg publishers are pleased to announce a new book series that will examine and evaluate the role of sport in the contemporary world. Truly global in scope, the series seeks to adopt a grounded, constructively critical stance towards prior work within sport studies and to answer such questions as: • How are sports experienced and practised at the everyday level within local settings? • How do specific cultures construct and negotiate forms of social stratification (such as gender, class, ethnicity) within sporting contexts? • What is the impact of mediation and corporate globalisation upon local sports cultures? Determinedly interdisciplinary, the series will nevertheless privilege anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, but will consider submissions from cultural studies, economics, geography, human kinetics, international relations, law, philosophy and political science.

  • News Release City of London Corporation 23 March 2021
    News Release City of London Corporation 23 March 2021 EMBARGOED UNTIL 00:01 26 MARCH 2021 Park chiefs ask Londoners: social distance to stop COVID spread Visitors to London’s open spaces are being urged to follow social distancing rules this weekend to prevent a spike in COVID-19 infections. The capital’s park providers the City of London Corporation, Lee Valley Regional Park, London’s boroughs, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and The Royal Parks made the call ahead of an easing of some lockdown measures. Under the Government’s Roadmap, from Monday 29 March, people will be able to meet outside in groups up to six, or with one other household – but those from different households will still need to socially distance from each other. Park bosses want Londoners to continue to play their part in keeping the COVID infection rate down as cases fall across the capital. The group is also encouraging visitors to act responsibly when visiting parks by respecting the Countryside Code, not leaving litter behind and using the bins provided or taking their rubbish home. Director of Open Spaces for the City of London Corporation, Colin Buttery, said: “Parks have played a crucial role in the physical and mental health of Londoners during the pandemic. But although some restrictions will soon be eased, we are still in a national lockdown - and it’s crucial that we all follow the rules to prevent a new spike. Londoners have already made huge sacrifices to cut infection rates, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Statement Regarding the Proposed Stamford Bridge Redevelopment
    Statement regarding the proposed Stamford Bridge Redevelopment The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust representative was pleased to attend the recent Fans Forum meeting which focussed on the proposed redevelopment of Stamford Bridge. Questions regarding plans for the much heralded redevelopment of Stamford Bridge were put to members of the Club’s Board and the design team responsible for the redevelopment of the new stadium. The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust are delighted that the plans for the new stadium seem to be progressing well and that there were satisfactory responses to many of the concerns and issues that supporters have raised. However, the recent issues with the transition of West Ham United from the Boleyn Ground to the London Stadium serve as a timely reminder about potential problems when moving stadium and increasing capacity. It appears that many of the issues West Ham are facing might have been resolved had dialogue been held with supporters before the move. It should be noted that West Ham are one of the only Premier League clubs who do not have a Supporters’ Trust. We firmly believe that consulting with Chelsea supporters and their representatives prior to the re- development of Stamford Bridge (and temporary move whilst this happens) will result in potential problems being avoided. For this reason and acting on our mandate, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust will continue to press the Club to introduce ‘Safe Standing’ areas within the new stadium so that those who wish to stand whilst attending Chelsea matches at Stamford Bridge are able to do so. The ‘rail seating’ system advocated by the ‘Safe Standing campaign’ has, this season, been introduced by Celtic Football Club at their Parkhead ground and has proved, beyond any doubt, that it is indeed a safe way of enabling supporters to stand whilst enjoying top-flight professional football matches.
