Last
week I saw another amazing local club in action. BOXFIT has been open
in Bishops Stortford for just over a decade and provides opportunities
for both men and women (juniors and seniors).
BOXFIT
has invited me along to a session but unlike 'Back 2 Hockey' it
appears I'll be watching not participating. I am somewhat relieved as
90mins of hockey resulted in a 'beetroot face'. I am however intrigued
as to how well I'd box...
One of the amazing edges
that BOXFIT has is that it cares...

With
the stop bar down, we were taken in a 4x4 along the runway at Stansted
Airport. The runway was covered in
black rubber which is regularly cleared with specialist machinery. This was an amazing experience a plane
had landed in front of us and there were planes in the distance approaching the
runway. We didn’t spot any FOD
(foreign objects or debris) on our check.
Amongst
the Ryanair planes we saw the new BAA cargo planes Boeing 747-8F. With a 30% reduction in noise and 16%
lowe...

In
September 2012 I spent 10hrs with the Bishop’s Stortford Police on their late
shift. I was able to observe how
the Bishop’s Stortford and Hertford intervention Teams responded to a sample of
incidents throughout that shift.
During
that time I experienced some nonsense and nastiness the public displayed
towards our police. The police
team were outstanding at dealing with what appears to be a regular aspect of
the job. Personally, I was
exceptionally well looked after and felt part...

The
2012 statistics indicate that women are still reluctant to start a business but
that doesn’t appear to be the case in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire. As larger businesses close, women are
opening up high-street, on-line and home-based businesses that are diverse,
encouraging local shopping and are visually pleasing.
Record
percentages of the working population surveyed in the GEM UK Report 2011
indicated that they were running their own company or thought that they would
start...

Mrs Christine Bonner, Mother of Cpl Darren Bonner who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2007, visited Bishops Stortford as part of her sponsored walk in aid of The Royal Anglian Regiment. I was very impressed with her resilience and willingness to seek some good out of such great misfortune.
Christine was clearly delighted to meet her family at the end of the ninth day of her project, at The Bishop's Stortford Town Council offices. I greeted Christine and soldiers of The Royal Anglian...

I received a cheque today from Viridor Credits for £6,000 for the Bishop's Stortford Play Area under the project "Childrens' Play Counts". It reminded me of the opening on 5 April 2012.
Here is a copy of the invite to the opening using "The Best of Bishop's Stortford"
