A Word From Gavin WIlliamson......... I am always extremely proud the amount of volunteerorganisations that we have in South Staffordshire. We are so lucky to have a wide variety of local charities and supportgroups, and it is a huge comfort to live in an area where you know that this kind of support is readily available to us.Recently I gave the keynote speech at the AGM of the South Staffordshire Community and Voluntary Action (SSCVA)group masterclass in Codsall. The SSCVA, of which I am a patron, is a fantastic group of volunteers who provideinvaluable support to those in our society who need that extra bit of help. They are inspiring people and I am honouredto support the group and their Volunteer Award. In fact I was so inspired by the group that last year I launched my ownVolunteer Award to recognise the contributions of volunteers across South Staffordshire who have gone that extra mile.The SSCVA do such a fantastic job and I hope that many more people will take part in this extremely rewarding activity.I also took tea with members of another community group the Church in the Village, which meet in the Codsall Forget-Me-Not Club in Station Road. The group meets once a month on the last Friday of the month at 2.30pm for afternoontea, cakes and music. I met with members and discussed local issues that were important to them. It is always a treatvisiting groups such as these. I really enjoy sitting down with members over a cup of tea to chat about the local area. TheChurch in the Village is another brilliant example of a successful and vital group in South Staffordshire, bringing thecommunity together and offering companionship to people who might not be able to get out and about as often as theyused to. It is easy to think that these days we are heading towards a breakdown of the traditional community spirit, but groupssuch as the SSCVA and the Church in the Village show us that our community spirit is still alive and well in Codsall andright across South Staffordshire.

PGA Golf Tips from Jeremy Nicholls at South Staffs Golf Club Academy..... In last months article we informed you of our up and coming joint venture with South Staffs Golf Club. For those of youwho are possibly thinking of taking up golf, we offer not only individual tuition but a number of group sessions that werun at the Academy to get you into golf, whether you’re a senior, lady or junior. Our facilities also include covered andfloodlit driving range, grass tee, chipping and putting areas , as well as a 18 hole Par 3, ideal for beginners and also forthe more established golfer looking to sharpen their short game.Saturday Morning Junior Golf Academy: This is held every Saturday morning for 50 weeks of the year. The academy isrun over 2 – 1 hour sessions. The 10-11am session is the advanced group who have been attending for some time andjuniors who have some knowledge and ability regarding the basics of golf.The 11-12pm group is our “Get into Golf” session aimed at beginners and introducing juniors to the game of golf.The cost of these sessions are £4, this includes any clubs hired and range balls used during the hour.The sessions are aimed at keeping the juniors interested and motivated, covering all aspects of the game, starting withchipping, putting, range work and with the advanced group several holes played on the course when the weatherpermits. The beginners group, once they become more confident will also play a hole or 2 with myself so that they alsobegin to learn the etiquette of the game.Seniors Days: These days were introduced to encourage the retired golfer (over 60’s) especially during the week, whenthe course has quiet periods so we offer a discount to attract them to play. The senior days are Tuesday and Thursdaysand we offer 18 holes on the par 3 at a discounted rate of £4. Both days are very popular and well attended.Ladies Mornings: We run these on alternate Fridays during the year. The aim is to introduce and get more ladies playinggolf in a relaxed and informal environment. This group has a good core group of 8-10 ladies, with ladies joining us see ifthe game of golf is for them, and some progress to play on full size courses as well.Our Ladies mornings aim to bring together ladies who wish to enjoy a social game of golf with other ladies, both onthese mornings as well as meeting up at other times to play.The mornings begin with the ladies meeting up in Café for coffee, between 9.30-10.00am, followed by 45 minutes grouptuition with myself, we cover all aspects of the game, range to cover basics, grip, posture etc. chipping, putting, bunkerpractice, and any other issues the ladies raise regarding their game. This is followed by 18 holes on the par 3 course. Thecost of our ladies morning is £10.00 all inclusive.

At Smartkids we tailor the learning for our children so thatwe can develop truly independent learners. Our childrencome to us for tuition in all subjects; Computer Skills,Maths, English, SATs practice, 11+ tuition Languages andGCSE are just some of the subjects they study. We even runa homework club staffed by our qualified teachers. This notonly helps the children, but is also great for their parents asit takes the stress away from them.We use computers to deliver our learning programmes. Whatmakes us different is that many of our learners are workingtowards nationally recognised computer qualifications, andalthough many of them are still very young, they pass GCSEequivalent exams. With no exam nerves whatsoever, oursuccess rate is 100%.All our learners are supported by “helpers”; older studentswho have passed their computer exams with us, and whonow work as mentors for the younger ones. We also specialise in helping children with learningdifficulties. Although they love learning, they often comebecause they find school frustrating and at Smartkids theycan learn in a relaxed environment with teachers whounderstand their needs. To quote one of our children “I reallylove coming here because it’s so fun that it doesn’t feel likeyou’re learning but you are really!”See Advert on p3 for more information
