First Story (UK, 1122939) Browse events

First Story seeks to address the educational disadvantage faced by children in challenging social and economic circumstances. We strive to raise achievement, self-confidence and aspiration through creative instruction.  We arrange and pay for acclaimed authors to run weekly creative-writing workshops for groups of students attending challenging secondary schools across the country.  At the end of each project, we publish professional anthologies of the students' work and organise book launch events where pupils read their work aloud to friends, families and teachers. We aspire to develop First Story hubs in strategic locations across the country, which will ensure that every secondary school student has access to the creative provision to which we believe he/she is entitled. Please help us achieve this.

EBOG (UK, 06394) Browse events

East Barnet Old Grammarians, known as EBOG, is an amateur football club open to all the community. It caters for men and ladies from age 16 upwards, girls and boys. Created, run, maintained and funded by its own volunteer members it offers affordable organised football competing in a League and several Cups.  The Clubhouse and football pitches are located at the end of Alan Drive, off Mays Lane, Barnet.  The Clubhouse was paid for and built in 1962 by the EBOG members of that era themselves (see photos right, of the tennis courts being built in the 1960s).  Since then all maintenance of the Clubhouse and grounds has been paid for or carried out voluntarily by the members, apart from new pitch drainage in 2007 (see photo) for which the Club received a grant.  Since the very first season, EBOG has suffered from  the disappointment and drop in bar income caused by cancelled games because of sodden pitches.  The new drainage has almost put an end to that (this Winter being an exception), but the clay soil means that the pitches must be dressed with tons of sand every year or they will soon go back to their original state. The sand however, costs thousands of pounds and this year in particular, EBOG needs to put as much effort as possible into raising funds.  Every little bit raised adds up and could ensure that the Club continues to exist and thrive for the benefit of current and future members of the community.  EBOG 12 hour football marathon!!  Saturday 15th June - Don't miss it!  Go to www.virginmoneygiving.com/ebog12hourfootballmarathon  for more details and to sponsor the team!
