Sat at home…

Soooo… I am sat at home and curled up on the sofa an watching Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home!! Have any of you guys watched this?? I didn’t think that it was that good, but watching it now it’s a really good film! It’s about this boy who has this whale friend called Willy and they are really close. Then there’s an oil spill and one whale gets the oil in its lungs :/ Anyways… You probably think I am a right freak writing about this!! Haha but I haven’t Posted a blog in ages…!

Laters!
P.S what do you think my our new looks?? Late 80′s early 90′s kinda style?!!

Today…

Hi!!

It’s my birthday today! Yay! I had a really special day today even though I did have an English SATS paper to do today and homework
I hope that the event with that was on tonight went okay!

Please enjoy a picture of my brother blowing out MY candles on my cake!!
Action shot!!

What shall we call this Project?

We are looking to work on project which begins with our event on 10th May where we invite Parish and Town Councillors to come along and learn how to engage young people, and help support us to hold some power and make things happen for ourselves in our local communities.

What we need is a name for this project….any suggestions?

Young people will be supported to consult with other young people, to create ideas about what they would like in their parish, to plan and organise events, set up groups, forums, young people’s committees, to make spaces for young people, to hold regular activities and sessions which young people want……be it dance, or a drop -in space, a youth shelter, a summer festival, a skate park…..whatever young people want and need, and whatever the Parish and Town Councils can support us with.

Ideas such as “Young, Local and Vocal” or “FoDCast; Make it Yours”…..or any other punchy ideas which could work are very welcome!!!!

Tonight’s Meeting…

I have just got back from Youth Forum. Today we talked about the police and what sort of things they could improve on. Although it was a bit
boring, some interesting conversations came out of it. Hopefully police officers will start wearing fluorescent colours; this should make them more approachable! So if you see an officer wearing bright pink trousers, you will know why, it was our idea!! Also in today’s meeting, we ate food… Crisps. I really enjoyed my packet of Prawn Cocktail crisps. Okay, this post is rather boring. Oh, and today we got given certificates of how many hours we had given to Youth Forum Meetings!! Here are the results:
Drum roll please…
In third place we have Ezme Evans with 38 hours (I think)
In Second Place we have Lorna Russell with 60 hours (i think)
And… In First Place we have (also known as the face of Youth Forum!) George Grindle with 63 hours. Well done everyone!! Hehe!
Bye!

Speed Dating

We all have just have a great time “Speed Dating” the councillors at the District offices! I really enjoyed it and found some really interesting things out about them! I really hope we will be doing this again! Next time, I will be prepared with more things to say!! I didn’t take any pictures of our time at the council offices. So, instead, please enjoy a lovely photo of an ex-forum member that some of you may know! Just to let you know, Olly does not do this all the time!! He only posed with my hat and tambourine for the purpose of the photo!

Okay…

I haven’t really got anything to blog about But… Tonight the Youth Forum are going Speed Dating! Yay!
Charlotte and I are really looking forward to this and I am sure that the other Forumers are too!
Bye for now!

Oh and there is this app called Geek Booth and it made me chuckle, so I thought that I would share a picture with you!!
