It is not just about rugby!

Bath Rugby’s ultimate aim is to be the best, and to win silverware at the end of each season, but it is not just about the rugby.

There is a heart within the Club which beats for the people who live in and around the South West.

When the players are not training or playing matches, they throw themselves into the local community, and are proud to be part of what happens off the pitch. They recognise the huge role they can play in moulding the next generation, and to help everyone involve themselves in sport.

Nine years ago, our mission was to change people’s lives through the medium of sport, led by the Community Department. Headed by Manager, Jimmy Deane and his very supportive team, they inspired many people in the local community to ‘get involved’, and to take part in a variety of rugby and educational projects.

This work later became known as The Bath Rugby Community Foundation, set up as a charity in 2003. The work continued in the same vein and encompassed both the charitable programmes and The Aviva Premiership’s commercial community programmes.

In 2011 a change took place which separated any commercial opportunities and charitable activities within the community.

The Bath Rugby Community Department deliver the commercial community opportunities for Bath Rugby Club. They deliver the Aviva Premiership projects, the rugby camps, prematch coaching and the mascots. This is

headed by Business Development Manager, John Harrison, and is delivered by a team of coaches. Ticket sales are an integral part of this department.

The Bath Rugby Community Foundation supports local young people and has been re-named The Bath Rugby Foundation. Jimmy Deane is the Foundation Manager, and works with the Trustees of this registered charity.

Though it runs under the umbrella of Bath Rugby Club, it is financially independent i.e. it is not funded by the Club, and has to raise all its own money to ensure the Foundation’s future. The main strands of the charity are sport, inclusion and educational projects, as well as supporting local charities such as Dorothy House, Forever Friends, Macmillan and more.

The Foundation have a large task ahead of them to become completely self-sufficient and have begun a fundraising programme. The more money they raise, the more they will be able to do their fantastic work engaging young people and providing opportunities for all.

Meare Village Primary School’s

Film Club Pupils from Meare Village Primary School’s Film Club were invited to attend the Encounters Short Film & Animation Festival at Bristol’s Watershed to review a premiere screening of the new animated film Paranorman. The primary school children regularly review films at school on line as part of FILMCLUB and have been making animation and short films as part of their after school film making club. The young filmmakers were pleased to have had the opportunity to meet the British film director of Paranorman & Flushed Away, Sam Fell, at the festival and ask him questions about his career as a director. They also had an opportunity to review his film in a live FILM CLUB interview after the screening.

Sketch the face or design on the surface of the pumpkin.

If you make a mistake, use a damp cloth to wipe it away -- marks from dry-erase markers or grease pencils should come off easily.

Use a paring knife to cut along each line. Use your finger to push the cut-out pieces out of the pumpkin.

Using these steps and a little creativity, you can make a unique pumpkin easily.

Here are some ideas for customizing your pumpkin:

How to carve a pumpkin

• Instead of cutting a lid, cut off the entire top of your pumpkin in a zigzag line that resembles spiky hair.

• Hold your knife at a slight inward angle as you cut out your design rather than cutting straight through the pumpkin. This will leave a thin rim of visible pumpkin flesh around each hole. When you light your jack-o’lantern, this will create an orange glow around your design. You can use different cutting angles to create patterns of light and shadow on your pumpkin’s surface.

• Use leftover pieces of pumpkin to make ears, eyes or a nose. Attach these pieces using toothpicks.

• Rather than cutting a face into your pumpkin, cut another design, like a cat, a bat or a message to trick-ortreaters.

• You can also make memorable pumpkins by using stencils or carving your design as a cut-out.

Fireworks “Remember remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot.

I see no reason, why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot” Fireworks are fun but we must also remember they can be dangerous. If you are not going to an organised fireworks event this year and plan to see off fireworks at home, make sure that everyone knows all about how to stay safe.

• Stand well back • Never go near a firework that has been lit, even if it hasn’t gone off as it could still explode • Never put fireworks in your pocket or throw them • Wear gloves when using sparklers and hold them at arms length away from you • Put used sparklers hot end down in to a bucket of sand or water • Keep pets indoors • Never throw used (or unused) fireworks on a bonfire • Never pick up a firework which may be left over, it may still be active

Farrington Golf & Country Club invites you to

The largest Firework Display & Halloween Disco in the Area

Did you know...

• Bonfire night is over 400 years old! It dates back to 1605 when Guy Fawkes and a group of other men tried to blow up Parliament.

• Guy Fawkes was not the leader of the Gunpowder Plot, it was actually a man called Robert Catesby.

• There is an island to the North of Santa Cruz called Isla Guy Fawkes...nobody knows why it is called this....maybe he planned to escape there.

• Fireworks were invented in China back in the 12th Century (AD 1100)!

• A rocket can reach speeds of 150mph, however the shell can reach as high as 200 metres.

• The worlds largest recorded firework display was held in Portugal in 2006 and it featured 66,326 fireworks!

• At first fireworks were only orange and white, new colours were made in the middle ages by adding different salts. The hardest colour to create is blue • 90% of the worlds fireworks are made in China.

• Three sparklers burning together generate the same heat as a blow-torch.

Make sure you enjoy this year’s firework displays but please remember to stay safe.

Pumpkin Seed Necklace This pumpkin seed necklace, made in Halloween colours, makes a great accessory for Halloween and perfect for a witch’s costume! Alternatively, paint in more autumnal colours.

You will need:

Pumpkin seeds (roasted) Paint (orange, black, white and green) Needle and thread (Kitchen foil to put seeds on while you paint them)

Instructions:

Paint your pumpkin seeds in orange, green, white and black.

The easiest way to do this is to put them on kitchen foil so that they will not stick to anything while they dry.

But it is a very messy job! When your seeds are dry, thread your needle with a length of thread long enough to go over your head with 3 or 4 inches to spare. Put your seeds a few at a time in a pile on newspaper or a thin sponge. One by one push the needle down through the seed - when you have pierced the seed safely, pick it up and pull it through the thread. When your thread is about two thirds filled, knot the ends together tightly. Note: you need a sharp needle for this so make sure children are well supervised or that an adult does the threading.

Halloween Candle Jars These candle jars are simple and great fun to make, and a very effective Halloween decoration.

But an adult will need to supervise everything to do with the candle - including, of course, lighting it!

You will need:

Jars of all shapes and sizes and appropriate candles to fit them Tissue paper - orange, white, purple or black Black construction paper Glue Scissors Black felt tip marker

Instructions:

You can get very creative making your Halloween candle jars, and we are sure you will come up with many different ideas. Basically you wrap the jar in a piece of tissue paper, insert the candle and light it! You create the effect you want either by cutting out pieces of the tissue paper, or by sticking extra pieces of paper on, or just by drawing your design with black felt tip marker.

Pumpkin Bag This cute little pumpkin bag is simply made with felt and ribbon, but it is good sewing practise for beginners.

Use it for storing your Halloween treats or perhaps for giving a Halloween gift.

You will need:

Orange felt Black felt Black embroidery thread Green ribbon

Instructions:

Lay the pieces of orange felt on top of one another. Cut away two of the corners in a curve. Cut face pieces from black felt and sew them (or stick them) to one of orange pieces. Use blanket stitch to sew the two pieces of orange felt together.

Leave the straight edge open. About 1/2 inch in from the top of the bag carefully snip small vertical holes, leaving about 1inch between them, all the way around the bag. Starting in the front of the face, thread the ribbon through the slits (a darning needle to push the ends through will help).

Pulling and tying the ribbon as a drawstring will make the pumpkin round.

Wreck-It Ralph

Dino Time Release Date: December 7, 2012

Release Date: November 2, 2012

There’s nothing Ernie loves more than an excellent adventure, whether its zooming around town on his rocket-powered skateboard or stealing an early peek at the coolest new fossil exhibit at the Dinosaur Museum. Its not always easy under the strict rules of his mum, especially with his sister Julia following him around and trying to get him in trouble every chance she gets but he still manages to stir up fun.

Ernie’s daredevil nature takes him on a journey one day with potentially irreversible consequences.

After sneaking over to his best friend Max’s, Ernie discovers Max’s dad’s latest invention: a sleek, egg-shaped time machine. Suddenly, Julia bursts in to bust the two boys, and in the ensuing chaos, the time machine comes to life and closes its doors on the three kids arguing.

The kids find themselves in a lush jungle untouched by mankind with a living, breathing T-Rex named Tyra standing over them. But they’re not dinosaur food...the time machine has landed them in Tyra’s nest and she believes the children are hers.

Ernie and the other children have to figure out how to get home, what with the time machine having lost a vital component in its crash landing!

The film follows an arcade game Bad Guy, Wreck It Ralph who is determined to prove that he can be a good Guy. Wreck-It Ralph longs to be as beloved as his games perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix the problem is nobody loves a bad guy, but they do love heroes!! A new game arrives featuring a tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun and Ralph sees this as his ticket to heroism and happiness. Ralph’s plan is simple, he will sneak in to the game and win a medal! But Ralph soon wrecks everything and accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade his only hope to save the entire arcade is to team up with the young troublemaking ‘glitch’ from a cart racing game who might just be able to teach Ralph what it really means to be a Good Guy.

Mummy Wrap Mummy Wrap is a fun Halloween party game for children of all ages.

Buy some cheap rolls or toilet paper and perhaps some crepe paper streamers in Halloween colours. Split the kids up into teams of two.

One child will be the “mummy” and the other is in charge of wrapping up the child like a mummy...

When you start playing the music the teams can start wrapping up the When you turn the music off the kids need to stop.

The team whose mummy is more mummified (or wrapped) wins.

Older children can have even more fun if you turn the lights right down when you turn the music on - it makes it much harder and they will get the giggles!

Skateboarding is thought to have been ‘born’ sometime in the late 1940’s early 1950’s when surfers in California wanted something to surf when the waves were flat, to date nobody knows who made the first board as it seems as though several people came up with similar ideas around the same time. At this time skateboarding was seen as something to do for fun besides surfing and was often called “sidewalk surfers”.

There is over 18.5 million skateboarders in the world, 85% of those polled who had used a board in the last year were under the age of 18 and 74% were male.

Skaters in the 80’s began to build their own ramps at home and wherever else they could find space as most skate parks had been closed down due to lack of interest from skaters in the late 70’s. During the 90’s interest in skating began to pick up again very quickly became a mainstream interest with skate parks reopening all over the UK. Skate parks not only attract keen skate boarders but you’ll always find plenty of people on bikes, scooters and roller skates enjoying the facilities at the park.

On Sunday 28th October Surfers Yard of Street are hosting a Skate Jam at the Glastonbury Skate Park to help raise funds for the much needed replacement of the original wooden ramps which are disintegrating fast at the Shepton Skate Park.

The skate park provides a valuable facility for the young people of the town to spend time together, have fun outdoors and socialise in a dedicated area, however the current ramps must be replaced and the aim is to provide the park with purpose built concrete ramps which have a 40 year life span.All monies raised will be donated to the Save Shepton Mallet Skate Park fund.

The Skate Jam will host competitions for skateboarding, BMX-ing, In-lining & scooting with categories for 14 years and under, 14-18 year olds and an over 18’s category.

Traders stands at the event include Surfers Yard, Animal, DC, Vans and many many more. The event will start at 11am and entry is on a donation basis.

Safety wear and helmets must be worn by all competitors.

For more information you can contact Surfers Yard on 01458 898099 or email enquiries@surfersyard.co.uk

Halloween biscuits Simply use rich tea or other plain biscuits, cover them with melted chocolate and draw on a spiders web. Use liquorice bootlaces for spiders legs on cakes or biscuits.

If you are more of a cupcake person, what about trying jam in the middle of the cake? Using a piping bag and long, thin nozzle squeeze jam into the centre of the cupcake to give that oozing blood effect when cut...
