Thanet Wanderers RUFC Community Open Day promises fun for all the family

Thanet Wanderers Rugby Club is holding a Community Open Day on Sunday 1st September 11am-3pm at its St Peters Ground in Broadstairs.

Sponsored by London Array, the event is a celebration of the club and its role in the community, providing sporting opportunities to all ages throughout Thanet. The club wants to promote the game to new potential players and spectators.

Club Vice Chairman, Chris Marson said: “Our Community Open Day will be a fantastic opening to the new rugby season and will celebrate the club’s achievements both on and off the pitch.  Every week we have over 350 men, women, boys and girls aged 5 to 65 regularly playing rugby and we welcome anybody who wants to give the game a go, whatever their age or ability.”

Thanet South MP Laura Sandys will open the event, presenting the trophy to the national plate winning Under 17 squad.  This will be followed by further presentations to teams and individuals.

There will be a host of rugby related activities and games during the day, including a family touch rugby tournament, in which teams must include a junior (10-18 years), female and a non player.  There will also be rugby masterclasses, a kicking competition, horse carriage rides, pony rides, music, entertainment and food.

Charlotte Prett from sponsors London Array said: “London Array is proud to sponsor Thanet Wanderers.  We share the club’s real commitment to the local Thanet community and we look forward to being part of an exciting season with this vibrant rugby club.”

KENT GREEN PARTY COUNCILLORS CALL FOR BOYCOTT OF WINTER OLYMPICS

Kent Green Party Councillors, Martin Whybrow and Ian Driver, added their voices to growing demands for a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi (1), following the Russian government’s introduction of draconian anti-LGBT legislation earlier this year.
In a joint letter to Prime Minster David Cameron, they said Team GB’s participation in the Games “would lend credibility to a European country which has introduced an extremely dangerous piece of legislation, threatening the human rights of millions of its citizens”.
Said KCC Councillor Martin Whybrow: “Last summer Kent hosted 36 Olympic and 8 Paralympic training camps and thousands of people from the county volunteered as Game Makers.  These experiences mean that, as a community, Kent people understand more than most the unique inclusive spirit that makes the modern Olympic movement – a spirit which has no place for the bigotry demonstrated by the Russian government.”
Councillor Ian Driver added: “In 2011 I had the privilege of moving a motion which committed Thanet Council to the support of equal marriage. Thanks to David Cameron’s championing of this change, equal marriage is now lawful. For the government he leads to allow Team GB to compete in a country which has legalised the persecution of its LGBT citizens seems to me to be incompatible with our strong commitment as a nation to inclusivity and tolerance.”

New planning applications,

The TDC planning website is one of the most bizarre websites I have ever come across in as much as the web addresses of the pages on it change after a few hours so you can’t publish links to them. If you want to look at any of the applications you need to go to the site and enter the application reference in the search box, this link takes you to the site http://www.ukplanning.com/thanet
