The Wildcats thought Get Set Kids would be ideal partners to promote their Adopt a School Scheme across the county. Businesses and organisations have an opportunity to help develop the next generation of North-East sports stars following the launch of this innovative sponsorship campaign in partnership with Durham County Council. The club is hoping to raise £10,000 to support the development of the British Basketball League (BBL) newcomers. The aim is for 20 local companies to each invest £500 in the club and in exchange the Wildcats have pledged to introduce 10,000 local schoolchildren to the sport. Business backers will be invited to nominate the school of their choice to receive elite coaching sessions from the Wildcats team. Furthermore, the company would become match sponsor at an upcoming BBL fixture at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre. The Wildcats coach Dave Elderkin, explained how the youngsters would benefit from the programme. "Without exception all the pupils enjoy learning the skills and work very hard to master the game," he said. "They really love working with the senior Wildcats players. We concentrate on teaching passing, shooting and dribbling skills and introduce 3 on 3 basketball, making it as much fun as possible. "We also put together festivals for schools within their clusters and offer youngsters opportunities to play in front of a live audience before our own competitive Wildcat BBL games." The Wildcats have faced tough competition since making the step up to the top level of English basketball this season, but the move has significantly boosted the clubs profile; attracting crowds of about 500 spectators and upping media coverage.

Using his experience Kevin Moseley implemented his skills in producing a single piece of equipment that is fun, easy and practical to use. The Fin shape appeals to all ages but has many more functions than just a visual thing. For the beginner it will replace the armbands and life vests etc, for the improver it can be used to measure and improve stroke development, for the advanced swimmer it is used to detect common faults. In fact it will work for every member of the family at some, if not all stages in their swimming activity. SwimFin can be used on all the major strokes for one purpose or another. Not everybody immediately understands the concepts behind SwimFin but it has been proved that the time it takes to get a child to swim and be water safe can be reduced by upto a third.This is achieved simply because children learn faster when they are having fun. SwimFin was developed using the scientific principles in swimming and the psychological process in learning to swim, there has never been a better way to turn a swimming lesson into a FUN session. Unlike other buoyancy aids, SwimFin can be further used as a pull buoy and kick board. SwimFin offers fantastic value for money and you can rest assured it is a quality product, manufactured using the best materials available and enduring the strictest QC Ask your local stockist for more details or buy online at www.swimfin.co.uk/buy See Page 21 to Win a Swimfin TOP AWARD FOR YOUTHY FOOTBALL Newton Aycliffe Youth Centre Junior Football Club are very pleased to announce that they have been awarded the Teesside Junior Football Alliance League, Club of the Year for 2012.

  • Negotiating Musicianship Live Weider Ellefsen
    Ellefsen Weider Live Live Weider Ellefsen In this ethnographic case-study of a Norwegian upper secondary music musicianship Negotiating programme – “Musikklinja” – Live Weider Ellefsen addresses questions of Negotiating musicianship subjectivity, musical learning and discursive power in music educational practices. Applying a conceptual framework based on Foucault’s discourse The constitution of student subjectivities theory and Butler’s theory of (gender) performativity, she examines how the young people of Musikklinja achieve legitimate positions of music student- in and through discursive practices of hood in and through Musikklinja practices of musicianship, across a range of sites and activities. In the analyses, Ellefsen shows how musical learn- musicianship in “Musikklinja” ers are constituted as they learn, subjecting themselves to and perform- ing themselves along relations of power and knowledge that also work as means of self-understanding and discursive mastery. The study’s findings suggest that dedication, entrepreneurship, compe- tence, specialization and connoisseurship are prominent discourses at play in Musikklinja. It is by these discourses that the students are socially and institutionally identified and addressed as music students, and it is by understanding themselves in relation to these discourses that they come to be music student subjects. The findings also propose that a main charac- teristic in the constitution of music student subjectivity in Musikklinja is the appropriation of discourse, even where resistance can be noted. However, within the overall strategy of accepting and appropriating discourses of mu- sicianship, students subtly negotiate – adapt, shift, subvert – the available discourses in ways that enable and empower their discursive legitimacy. Musikklinja constitutes an important educational stepping stone to higher music education and to professional musicianship in Norway.

    2017 CATALOGUE For over forty years Omnibus Press has been publishing the stories that matter from the music world. Omnibus Press is the World’s/Europe’s largest specialist publisher devoted to music writing, with around thirty new titles a year, with a backlist of over two hundred and seventy titles currently in print and many more as digital downloads. Omnibus Press covers pop, rock, classical, metal, country, psyche, prog, electronic, dance, rap, jazz and many more genres, in a variety of formats. With books that tell stories through graphic art and photography, memoirs and biographies, Omnibus has constantly evolved its list to challenge what a music book can be and this year we are releasing our first talking books. Among Omnibus Press’ earliest acquisitions was Rock Family Trees, by acclaimed music archivist Pete Frame, three editions of which remain in print to this day and have been the basis of two BBC TV series. Over the following decades Omnibus published many best-selling, definitive biographies on some of rock’s greatest superstars. These include Morrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance by Johnny Rogan, Dear Boy: The Life Of Keith Moon by Tony Fletcher, Uptight: The Velvet Underground Story by Victor Bockris, Catch A Fire: The Life of Bob Marley by Timothy White, Stevie Nicks - Visions, Dreams & Rumours by Zoë Howe, Without Frontiers The Life And Music Of Peter Gabriel by Daryl Easlea and Under The Ivy: The Life & Music of Kate Bush and George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door, both by Graeme Thomson, all of which are regularly cited by magazines and critics as being amongst the finest rock biographies ever published.
