Last night we went to the AGM of the local community centre, where Jayne stood down as chair after a year. She previously did the job for the maximum three years, but back then she was not a school governor, independent custody visitor and an on-call appropriate adult for youth offenders. I have been saying [...]

We got called out to the community centre today to try and shut off the fire alarms. Actually Jayne got called and I tagged along in case I could help.

Good deeds
November 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Work
My good deed for today was nothing more than persuading someone else to do a good deed, not that he took much persuading. The Broadfield Community Centre was recently given a decent network colour laser printer. Last week I wired it all up to their hub and then ran into a brick wall when I [...]
Found

Last week the Broadfield Community Centre office finally found the details of the lady who bought my services at the charity auction back in August. I suppose it was inevitable, but when I called to see about going to sort out her computer the phone line was out of order.
I tried again yesterday and [...]

Slavery
August 24th, 2007 · No Comments · Life
Its 200 years since the abolition of slavery – but about a month since I was sold into slavery myself. Not that it has had much of an impact on my lifestyle.
It was all Jayne’s idea. She decided it would be a good idea to have an auction at the Broadfield Community Centre fete [...]
Lloyds TSB
August 9th, 2007 · No Comments · Life
Poor old Lloyds TSB are going through a bit of a rough time at the moment, and staff must be feeling a bit vulnerable, so that makes it all the more impressive that a crowd of Lloyds TSB staff in Crawley gave up a day this week to go along to the Broadfield Community Centre [...]
Broadfield Community Centre

I have been clearing out the huge pile of old newspapers for recycling, and having a quick look through them before throwing them out. In an old copy of the Crawley News I found a story which annoyed me at the time (May 30th) but for some reason I never actually wrote anything about [...]
Crawley: global village?
May 12th, 2007 · No Comments · Life
The day was already a strange one – no football at all and no Dr. Who – so me going to church just made it all the stranger.
Yesterday I had a little note tacked onto a meeting notice for the CCAR committee, saying that there was a ‘Multi-cultural celebration’ at Christ the Lord church in [...]

Enquiry from the press
October 24th, 2006 · 4 Comments · Life, Politics
I had a very strange phone call the other day. It was a chap from a local paper asking me if I knew why Councillor Alan Quirk had resigned from the management committee of the Broadfield Youth & Community Centre.
On the face of it a reasonable question, but I have not been involved in [...]
