With most of fixtures at Step 6 and above called off because of the dreaded Coronavirus, it was down to one of the feeder leagues to get my fix today. So, not wanting to catch anything on public transport, apart from a train or two of course, I elected to drive to my game and I picked one that is, as far, as I know, very difficult to do by public transport. It took me just over two hours to get here and the ground is adjacent to the village hall, not that they really need one, as this is a very small village. The changing rooms are wooden and here I bumped into the jovial home management team, who pointed me in the direction of the local pub. After my recent experience of paying £4 for a pulled pork roll at the Hampshire FA ground, I thought that I couldn’t do any worse here. I was wrong. The chilli con carne with pasta with garlic bread (two slices) for £4.50 looked tempting and when it arrived it tasted nice. Problem was that it came in a large coffee mug! Back at the ground I mentioned this to my ‘trip advisor’ who told me, “I forgot to tell you that the food’s not very good!" Perhaps the clue was that no one came around to ask me if I was enjoying my meal, possibly because I didn't give them time, as I ate it in a few mouthfuls! Anyway, by now we were ready to go and once the rotund ref had finished off his fag the game soon got underway.

    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING TO CELEBRATE THE 200 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF NATHANIEL WOODARD, 21 ST MARCH 1811 Thursday 24 th November 2011 Noon A M ESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND THE CHAIRMAN OF WOODARD SCHOOLS Shoreham in West Sussex, where Nathaniel Woodard founded his first schools in the 1840s, was a place of deprivation and lack of ambition. The founder’s initial vision was to meet the challenges of Victorian society with a Christian education provided for the middle classes at an affordable fee. As he moved northwards the trust he bequeathed to us declared the objective ‘to extend education to all classes.’ By the time of his death he had established eleven schools: no mean achievement for a single individual. Today Woodard Schools is a group of forty-six schools and academies, in both independent and maintained sectors. Concern for social justice remains embedded in our organisation: our pupils raise funds for a wide variety of charities selected by them; we are fully engaged in the Government’s Academy programme; many of our affiliated schools serve areas of significant twenty-first-century deprivation and low achievement; and, collectively, we are celebrating our Founder’s 200 th birthday year by raising funds to build a secondary school in Kenya, yet another area of deprivation, to which you are being asked to add your gifts today. Our motto Qui diligit Deum diligat et fratem suum finds its expression in the love and loyalty that binds our schools , and the people in them , together at every level giving them the means to achieve more for society through co-operation and collaboration.
