[emmie]

seems a very good idea, perhaps more clubs could do the same.

I think this is a smashing idea Emmie.....these boys seem to be benefiting, that's for sure.

I expect other Clubs do something similar....its about putting something back into the local community and I can't think of anything better than this.

A god idea but given recent events of abuse I wonder how practical it will be to get it of the ground just now?

[emmie]

me neither, i was watching the piece on the news and thought what a brilliant idea. Those marginalised from society, those suffering at main stream schools can benefit hugely. I hope that other clubs do something similar.

[emmie]

its already working.

Difficult I guess YMB, but the worst days of Barrie Bennell are hopefully behind us. When he was committing his crimes, nobody expected him or others to be up to anything.

From what I can see on the link, it all appears to be out in the open and above board.

Forgot to add.....this scheme appears to be an extension of the regular schooling program.

[emmie]

it does, and i believe its for boys and girls, unless i am reading it wrong.

[youngmafbog]

Well I wish them the best, it is so sad that these abuses have bought fear and doubt for parents, the kids are of course the losers.

[mikey4444]

Yes, girls as e well Emmie....must have missed them first time around !

thought i saw a young lady in there some place
