does best - 2011

Lyndon and Connor have both been studying hard for their A levels. Lyndon has now gone off to Southampton University to study Photography - waiting to see some of the results later in the year.

wish them both luck and hope to see them returning onto the scene quickly with some more fundraising activities.

First rehearsal went well - Neil Bettles and Laura Sutton choreographing.

Ham House a National Trust property fabulous. Gardens great.

Rehearsals from 12noon till 6pm. Not too hot for jumping about. Worked on sequence on steps as well as benches. Girls concentrated on their "flirty" footwork in the grass squares in front of the house.

Coming together slowly.

Props and extra clothing being sourced by Kate.

Joining instructions for New Forest cycle challenge

2010-07-10T08:44:00.001-07:00

Please find below instructions for your New Forest cycle. Do read the below information carefully as things may be slightly different depending upon which route you are completing.

Firstly there are some common points below for your perusal;

You are advised to bring suncream, sunglasses and a sunhat/cap
You are advised to bring waterproof clothing
Please ensure your bike is in good working order and that you bring with you an adequate puncture repair kit and a spare inner tube
It would be useful to take a charged mobile phone although there may not always be full reception in the forest
Please do not bring dogs
You should bring provision to carry a MINIMUM of 2 litres of water

Your cycle, whichever route you are completing, is a tough but achievable challenge and Discover Adventure will be there to support you the entire way. We will have crew members stationed at numerous points along the route as well as specific water and snack stops where you will ‘check in’ so we can make sure everyone is on the correct route. Check point crew will be responsible for your safety and enjoyment and for ensuring that you complete the cycle in good time.

The route will be marked the entire way with orange arrows so you should not get lost!

All our Discover Adventure leaders are First Aid trained.

There is parking both at the start/finish point, the Balmer Lawn Hotel, and also opposite in a small public car park. Parking will be free. The nearest train station is Brockenhurst. Please see a map and address of Balmer Lawn Hotel further on.

Please see below for your start time information. When reading this please be aware that the average cycle speed for average cyclists is around 12 – 13 miles per hour. You should calculate the approximate time you will take to complete your challenge and you should aim to finish between 14.00 and 15.00, back at the Balmer Lawn. The routes are cicular and cross each other at two points so if you choose the long route and feel you would rather do a shorter distance, there wil be the chance to ‘cut off’ a last loop and head back to the finish. If you decide upon the shorter route and feel you are going well, you can opt to ‘take on’ the extra loop.

68 mile route start information

Upon arrival there will be hotel refreshments available for purchase.

Please do not arrive before 07.45am.

You will need to arrive at the Balmer LawnHotel in time for registration.

End of trek information for all

Once you have completed your cycle at the finish point back at the Balmer Lawn Hotel, you wil be able to purchase refreshments and there will be a private hog roast buffet ‘late’ lunch for all cyclists during the presentation.

Please note you will have water and snack stops durign the cycle, so you wil not go hungry during the event but do save some room for this delicious provision, included in your event fee.

The hotel has kindly agreed to allow any cyclists who wish, to use the shower facility in their small leisure centre. If you wish to take advantage of this then you will need to provide your own towel so please don’t forget this if you want a shower!

The Buffet lunch and presetnation wil take please between 15.00 and 16.30 hours and then you are free to make your own way home.

Friends and family

If you have friends or family members supporting you on this event, or dropping you off and collecting you, the area is a wonderful place for them to explore whilst you are cycling; take a walk, enjoy a nice lunch in a pub or at the hotel and they can leave their car either at the hotel or opposite in the public car park, subject to space.

Any friends and family are welcome to come along and join the presentation and there is a private room and bar for you all so everyone can purchase liquid refreshments. We regret that the buffet will be for cyclists only but the hotel serves food on a Sunday to the general public and it is very good quality!

Good luck with your remaining fundraising and training and we look forward to seeing you there.

Kind regards

The Discover Adventure/Help for Heroes team.

Sainsbury's Bag Packing

2010-05-29T05:25:00.000-07:00

A huge big thank you to Jean Agha at Sainsbury's for allowing us to do some bag packing at Sainsbury's today - 29 May 2010.

Tiring morning bag packing at Sainsbury's with The Dynamic Duo's Connor Mayes having really found his vocation - albeit a bit hacked off with one customer!

"Can't believe I packed all £350 quids worth of her shopping AND took it to her car - and she didn't even make a donation!" he moaned........... "yet this other couple, who only bought a few bits, and the lady was in a wheel chair, donated loads"

A moral there perhaps?

Anyway..... here are some photographs of the morning's activity - and non of Lyndon because he deleted them from the camera memory! We will up date later when we have a figure for the amount we have raised.

Thank you to Connor Mayes; Lyndon March, Nathan Bentley; Aiden Eldritt, Jamie Hayes, Thaine Mayes, Chris March, Heather March, Faith March, Glenn Mayes and Carlie Mayes.

Connor's new vocation!

Scott Graham becomes Patron

to The Dynamic Duo

Frantic Assembly produces thrilling, energetic and uncompromising theatre. The company makes work that reflects contemporary culture and attracts new audiences. In collaboration with a wide variety of artists, Frantic Assembly's Artistic Directors - Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett - create new work that places equal emphasis on movement, design, music and text. Since its formation in 1994 Frantic Assembly has toured extensively throughout the UK and internationally, building its reputation as one of the country's most exciting companies. In addition to its productions Frantic Assembly runs an extensive Creative Learning and Training Programme working with over 5,000 participants a year. Recent work includes Othello, Stockholm and pool (no water).

‘14 years of producing superb physical theatre’ The Guardian

Lyndon March and Connor Mayes have both been inspired by Frantic Assembly’s work on stage. The boys have also worked more closely with the company through its Ignition project, a national initiative developing new ways of increasing young men’s involvement in the arts. Connor went on to perform with the Ignition Theatre Company in The Fear, a highly energetic and thought provoking production at Toynbee Theatre in 2009.

Scott Graham is co-founder and Artistic Director of Frantic Assembly. For Frantic, Scott has co-directed Othello (TMA award – Best Direction), Stockholm, pool (no water), Dirty Wonderland, Rabbit, Peepshow and Underworld. Director/performer credits include Hymns, Tiny Dynamite, On Blindness, Heavenly, Sell Out, Zero, Flesh, Klub and Look Back In Anger. Scott Graham’s other directing credits include: Home (National Theatre of Scotland) Ker-ching (Sixth Sense), It’s A Long Road (Polka Theatre) and Up on the Roof (Polka Theatre). Scott has also provided choreography and movement direction for Cinderella (Unicorn Theatre), Frankenstein (Royal and Dergnate); The May Queen (Liverpool Everyman); Hothouse and Market Boy (National Theatre); Villette (Stephen Joseph Theatre); Vs (Karim Tonsi Dance Company, Cairo); Improper (Bare Bones Dance Company); Dazzling Medusa and A Bear Called Paddington (Polka) and Stuart Little (No 1 tour). With Steven Hoggett and Bryony Lavery, Scott created It Snows, a National Theatre Connections play for 2008. With Steven Hoggett, Scott has written The Frantic Assembly Book of Devising Theatre (Routledge).

Theatre Skills Weeks 2010

ACTiv8 Theatre Skills Weeks will focus on creating a strong and supportive company dynamic, in which all can flourish. Students will learn the skills and crafts of an actor, through encouraging a good ensemble atmosphere - essential in a professional theatre company. ACTiv8 gives its company members the skills with which to make exciting, innovative and truthful theatre. Students will explore advanced acting techniques, including Stanislavski, improvisation, clowning and stage combat, whilst playing theatre games and building a good company spirit. The emphasis is on learning an actor's craft, whilst also having fun!

Group 2 (School year groups 11+)

Tue 6 - Fri 9 April 10.00am - 4.00pm

Work with a professional director to create your own piece of theatre in a week! Last year's Director was Emma Earle, whose production of a new play 'Ernest and the Pale Moon' was nominated for the 2009 Total Theatre Award. Who might you get to work with this time...?!

ACTiv8 is the youth theatre group of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. If you are 7 - 18 years old and looking for a term-time or holiday theatre skills experience, ACTiv8 is for you!

Course content varies with age. Exercises range from fun team-building games to more advance sessions in improvisation through to lessons in acting techniques and stage combat.

Whatever your age, you will:
Act
Create characters
Devise scenes
Develop your imagination
Grow in confidence
Meet new people
Have a great time!

ACTiv8 students are provided with a creative, supportive and playful environment in which to develop their skills. Sessions explore different approaches to making theatre. Each week, ACTiv8 students play warm up games, explore exercises that encourage collaboration and develop their acting technique.

ACTiv8 is managed by Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Graduates, Jim Rastall and Phil Sarson, whose company Troupers also runs courses in London and Leeds. Classes are led by trained actors and directors from the School and all tutors have enhanced CRB clearance.

Held at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, 2 Downside Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 2XF.
